From our sommeliers
The Sforzato di Valtellina 'San Domenico' by Triacca is an emblematic red from the Lombard mountains, made from Nebbiolo grapes left to dry until December to concentrate sugars and aromas. After maceration on the skins, it ages for 18 months in large and small oak barrels. On the nose, it opens wide and varied, with ripe fruits, flowers, leather, and tobacco; on the palate, it is full-bodied, dry, and austere, with great structure. Perfect with braised venison or aged hard cheeses
Colour:
Ruby red with garnet reflections
Scent:
Wide and varied, with fruity notes of cherry and blackberry jam, floral hints of violet, and darker notes of leather and tobacco
Taste:
Dry and austere, with mature tannins and a powerful structure supported by good freshness, pseudo-sweet finish
