Sforzato di Valtellina

Medium

Cork

As of the hot 2003 vintage, Sandro Fay’s Sforzato hails exclusively from the estate’s 2.5ha San Gervasio vineyard, which reaches 750 metres above sea level. Here, grapes accumulate less sugar, retain their acidity, and develop thick skins ideal for the appassimento process. This is distinctly alpine with herbal scents backed up by dried rose, violet, cherry skins and a touch of smoky wood. It verges wondrously on medium weight yet offers plenty of substance all wrapped up in a velvety silky texture. The finish is positively tangy and resonates with crushed stones.
