Cà Bianche Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG "Fasèt" 2021

A Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG from Cà Bianche, made from Nebbiolo. The grapes are selected during harvest from the vineyard most exposed to the sun, then dried for at least three months in a fruttaio. The wine ferments for over three weeks, matures for a year in large casks and six months in steel, then completes a further year of ageing in bottle. It can be paired with cheeses or red meat dishes, and is suggested with Taleggio. Ruby red with a slightly garnet rim, it is intense and powerful on the nose, with faded flowers, berry jam, mineral nuances, tobacco and leather. On the palate it is extremely intense, broad and articulated, with excellent persistence.
