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 |

Sforzato San Domenico
The vintage
A memorable year due to a mild and rainy spring that gave rise to a perfect growth cycle, followed by a dry summer that enabled the healthy and excellent ripening of grapes.
Under such circumstances, agronomic interventions and phytosanitary protection implemented in the autumn led to results that surpassed all expectations, culminating in what could be defined as one of the best vintages of the century.
Terrain Composition
Sandy clay, poor in humus and highly permeable. All these factors are favourable for aromas and preservation
