SFURSAT 5 Stelle Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG

full-bodied, intense, spicy

2018 vintage: The winter was decidedly snowy and rainy. The spring started off cold, delaying the vegetative recovery by 15 days compared to the average. The low rainfall in summer and early autumn prevented any phytosanitary problems, allowing a harvest of very healthy grapes. Unfortunately, the first ten days of September were characterised by frequent violent storms, including hailstorms. No rain fell at all during the harvest period and then began again in November, continuing for all the month. The vintage was difficult due to the temperature extremes during the summer period, making it difficult for the grapes to ripen. The drying period was also characterised by above-average temperatures: this anomaly meant that pressing had to be brought forward to 15 November. The magnificent work done in selecting by our vine-growers and the tenacity of our technicians made a great wine of the Nebbiolo da Sfursat 5 Stelle 2018, an example of determination and Alpine character: born from the mountains, born from the wind
