These conditions favored a gradual ripening of the Nebbiolo grapes, ensuring intense aromas and silky tannins.\nThe result is a harmonious Sforzato, powerful yet fine, with an extraordinary expressive capacity already in its first years in the bottle and a long-term evolutionary potential.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nAfter the harvest, the grapes are selected and left to dry for about three months in well-ventilated rooms, a process that concentrates the natural sugars and aromas.\nThis is followed by slow and controlled alcoholic fermentation, then aging in oak barrels for at least 18 months. This maturation allows the wine to develop complexity and harmony, enhancing the typical characteristics of Valtellina Nebbiolo.\nThe entire process is conducted with respect for tradition and sustainability, core principles of Mamete Prevostini's production philosophy.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe color is a deep ruby red with garnet reflections, typical of mature and long-lived mountain reds, clear and brilliant in the glass.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe aroma is rich and complex, with scents of ripe red fruits – cherry, plum, and blackberry – accompanied by delicate spicy notes of cinnamon, licorice, and cocoa.
