From the best and dried Nebbiolo bunches of the Valtellina Superiore area.
The grapes are dried for two months in the fruit cellar, a ventilated room on the top floor of the CasaClima Wine cellar. The fruit caresses the palate: a roundness that gives warmth for an interminable lengthening to be shared in company. On the label, the ancestral sign depicts the ancient courtyard with the passage of people.
THE WINE:
Dark garnet red, it stands out on the nose for its elegance and power in expressing hints of fruit and dried flowers embellished with a background of great spiciness, from which emerge notes of anise. In the mouth it is warm, full and vigorous, soft and round, with pronounced sensations of jam and raisins. It closes with a poignant finish for persistence, on the fruit. The grapes, naturally dried in the fruit cellar until early December, undergo a concentration of aromas for a wine of great finesse and pleasantness. Maceration for 18 days, maturation in oak for 18 months and refinement in bottle for 10 months.
FOOD PAIRING:
Natural pairings for a great Sforzato della Valtellina are important dishes based on red meat or particularly tasty cheeses, such as Bitto. However, it is also an excellent meditation wine, to be sipped in small sips, at the end of a meal.
