The Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG "Sfursat Carlo Negri" from the Nino Negri winery is one of the highest expressions of Valtellina wine, a product of exceptional quality that combines the strength and elegance of Nebbiolo, locally known as Chiavennasca. This wine stands out for its unique production process, in which the grapes are dried before vinification, giving extraordinary concentration and complexity.
At sight, Sfursat Carlo Negri has an intense garnet red color, tending towards orange with maturation. On the nose, the bouquet is rich and enveloping, with intense aromas of dried fruit, plums, cherries in alcohol and spicy notes, which reflect its evolution in the barrel.
In the mouth, the wine expresses a powerful but harmonious structure. The tannins are present but well integrated, and the acidity is balanced, which contributes to a sensation of elegance and roundness. The flavors are an explosion of dried fruit, notes of tobacco and spices, with a long and persistent finish that leaves a pleasant memory.
