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

Serving suggestions

Ideal served with red meats, game and mature cheeses of substance

The vintage

A year in which the cold month of May led to delays in cultivation operations, although we soon caught up thanks to a warmer and dryer spring, thus regularising the growth cycle. 

In these conditions, the cultivation project yielded good results. Agronomic interventions confirmed the goodness of the product, with wine test results confirming the excellence of this vintage.

Terrain Composition

Sandy clay, poor in humus and highly permeable. All these factors are favourable for aromas and preservation
