TENUTA SCERSCE 2018 Sforzato di Valtellina 'Infinito' (Lombardy, Italy)

Sforzato is red wine made in the appasimento method in the region of Lombardy, Northern Italy. Nebbiolo grapes (called Chiavannasca in this region) are picked late and left to dry over the winter. In this extreme Alpine region, cool breezes from Lake Como wash over the grapes as they dry & flavors concentrate. The wine is then fermented to DRY, making a full bodied and rich wine. This is the amarone style - for amarone lovers, you can expect this iteration to be less rich, but more elegant. Take that as you will - we are excited for you to try for yourself!
