This prestigious wine is produced using the traditional \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"199\"\u003eappassimento\u003c\/i\u003e method, where the best bunches are naturally dried on racks for approximately three months. This process concentrates sugars and aromatic compounds, resulting in a wine of immense depth and character. In the glass, it displays a deep, intense garnet red color. The nose is greeted by a complex and enveloping bouquet featuring notes of plum jam, maraschino cherries in spirits, licorice, and sweet spices, further enhanced by hints of tobacco and cocoa from its extensive aging in oak.\u0026nbsp;On the palate, Messere is full-bodied, warm, and velvety. Its rich extraction is masterfully balanced by noble tannins and a distinct mineral savoriness that ensures an incredibly long, persistent finish. While it is an exceptional \"meditation wine\" to be enjoyed on its own, it pairs beautifully with robust dishes such as venison stews, long-aged Alpine cheeses like Bitto, or braised red meats. Its complexity continues to evolve gracefully over time, making it one of the most sought-after age-worthy reds in Northern Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eThe wine Sforzato di Valtellina in briefly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDenomination: Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG\u003cbr\u003eVintage: 2020\u003cbr\u003eDosage: Dry\u003cbr\u003eGrape variety: Nebbiolo - Chiavennasca\u003cbr\u003eRegion: Lombardy (IT), Chiuro (SO) \u003cbr\u003eRefinement: Small oak barrels\u003cbr\u003eServing temperature: 14\/16°C\u003cbr\u003eAlcohol content: 15,5% vol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWinery Caven\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003eFounded in 1982 by brothers Stefano and Simone Nera, \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"0\" data-index-in-node=\"53\"\u003eCantina Caven\u003c\/b\u003e (also known as Caven Camuna) represents the premium and most modern soul of the historic \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"0\" data-index-in-node=\"156\"\u003ePietro Nera\u003c\/b\u003e group. While the family’s primary brand embodies long-standing Valtellina traditions, Caven was established as a dedicated project to elevate the Alpine Nebbiolo (locally called Chiavennasca) through \"heroic\" viticulture and rigorous parcel selection.\u0026nbsp;The name refers to a historic area in Teglio famous for ancient rock carvings, highlighting a deep-rooted connection to the land. Caven’s philosophy moves away from high-volume production to focus on low yields and meticulous care of vineyards located in the DOCG’s most prestigious crus, such as Inferno, Sassella, and Grumello. Here, amidst dizzying slopes and dry-stone walls, the winery expresses a character that is muscular yet remarkably clean.\u0026nbsp;Compared to the classic Pietro Nera line, Caven wines are distinguished by a more complex structure and superior aging potential, the result of careful refinement that softens the natural austerity of the mountain grape. In short, it serves as the family’s \"private reserve\"—a high-quality laboratory where the raw power of the Valtellina rock meets contemporary, international technical elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cantina Caven","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57217930395983,"sku":"1251","price":480.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/4261\/2618\/files\/messerecaven_6d402028-bd89-4593-84ac-0ea967d9015f.webp?v=1773242460","url":"https:\/\/vinaidelborgo.com\/en-hk\/products\/sforzato-di-valtellina-messere-docg-caven","provider":"Vinai del Borgo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
