The wine region of Sforzato della Valtellina
Alpine Lombardy DOCG (heroic steep terraces above the Adda river, drying breva wind): Nebbiolo (local Chiavennasca) is the signature dry passito red (≥90%) — full-bodied and powerful (14–16%), deep colour, complex aromas of dried cherry, rose, liquorice, tar and spice, firm structured tannins and persistent length. Grapes dried 3–4 months on racks (~40% water loss), minimum 20 months ageing (≥12 in wood), alpine equivalent of Amarone, DOCG 2003.
The wine region of Lombardia
Three poles. Franciacorta DOCG, Italy's answer to Champagne: elegant brioche traditional-method sparklers (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc), fine bubble and mineral profile. Alpine Valtellina: Nebbiolo (alias Chiavennasca) with fine tannins and red fruits, powerful Sforzato passito. Oltrepò Pavese: fresh Pinot Noir and fruity-sparkling Bonarda.
The word of the wine: Foaming
Name given to the second alcoholic fermentation that sparkling wines undergo. It gives rise to a release of carbon dioxide in the bottle.
