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 |

The vintage
A memorable year, with a variable spring of unfavourable frosts, followed by a rainy and sunny summer, replenishing vegetative walls for excellent levels of photosynthesis. In such conditions, phytosanitary treatments and natural foliar fertilisation resulted in the thickening of skin and the greater resistance of vines to all diseases. Ultimately this ensured optimal grape ripening and an excellent quality product.
Terrain Composition
Sandy clay, poor in humus and highly permeable. All these factors are favourable for aromas and preservation
