The wine

Made from Nebbiolo grapes that are harvested and raisined in drying cellars until December or longer, Sforzato San Domenico is our red wine that is rich in sugars and aroma, a symbol of Valtellina’s winemaking heritage.

Tasting Notes
Intense ruby red tending towards garnet; a complex and varied aroma with fruity and floral notes, as well as leather and tobacco hints, enveloping and profound; full-bodied, dry and austere. A wine of great character and structure

Der Jahrgang

Like the previous year, the 2021 wine year in Valtellina was characterized by persistent rainfall, which forced us to be very vigilant about plant protection. However, with a lot of time, great efforts and rigorous selection in the vineyard, we were able to bring in grapes of excellent quality. From an enological point of view, the wet vintage meant that the grapes produced a fresh and fruity must, as in 2020, which opens up interesting prospects for a very pleasant wine.
