Description
Nino Negri's Sforzato di Valtellina 5 Stars is born in vineyards located in Valtellina, north of Lake Como in the province of Sondrio.
It is produced exclusively with Nebbiolo grapes, harvested only by hand during the month of October; the bunches are placed in crates and left to dry naturally for about 2-3 months. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 25-27 ° C for 16 days. Subsequently the wine ages in barrique for 16 months, and for further 3 months in bottle.
It is characterized by an intense and deep garnet red color. The nose opens with a rich and very complex bouquet, with elegant hints of raspberry and violet, enriched with pleasant spicy notes of coffee. On the palate it is concentrated, pleasantly vigorous, with an extraordinary base of ripe blackberries and spices. The wine has a full-bodied, ample and persistent finish.
Perfect to accompany grilled red meats, it is ideal in combination with game and aged cheeses.
