Sfursat is derived from a natural drying of the grapes, favored by the chill and dry winds coming from the mountains. The wine is thus a unique Nebbiolo: rich and austere, with the typical mineral and fresh characters of the alpine wines.
PRODUCTION DISTRICT: The vineyards of the Valtellina DOC and DOCG zones, on the slopes of the Rhaetian Alps, along the right bank of the River Adda.
ALTITUDE AND ASPECT: South facing, at altitudes between 300 and 550 metres above sea level. TYPE OF SOIL Shallow, sandy loam with low fertility, contained by dry-stone wall terraces.
HARVEST: The grapes were entirely handpicked from the end of September onwards and placed in cases weighing no more than 4.5 kg each.
WINEMAKING METHOD: The grapes were left to dry in the “fruttaio”, the fruit shed, where they loose almost 30% of their weight. Between December and the beginning of January they were fermented at a controlled temperature with prolonged maceration (15-20 days).
AGEING: Two years, one of which at least in wooden vats.
TASTING: Medium-ruby hue, accompanied by a concentrated, complex nose with notes of ripe berry fruit and spice (black pepper and cinnamon). At the palate, it’s dry, with ripe dark fruit notes, firm austere tannins. Full-bodied, persistent, long finish with notes of cloves and liquorice
