The finest bunches, meticulously hand-selected from the best vineyards in Valtellina, are laid in small crates within well-ventilated drying rooms for about three months. During this period, the natural dehydration concentrates extracts, sugars, and aromatic precursors, resulting in a wine of extraordinary power and finesse. In the glass, it displays an intense and deep garnet red color with significant viscosity. The olfactory profile is broad and complex, featuring notes of dark fruit preserves, prunes, and raisins, enriched by elegant hints of sweet spices, roasted coffee, and a subtle trace of mountain herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eOn the palate, Gheppio reveals itself as a sumptuous, warm, and enveloping wine. Its impressive structure is supported by noble and velvety tannins, which merge with a mineral freshness that provides balance and drinkability despite the high alcohol content. The finish is exceptionally long, with a persistent aftertaste of licorice and dark chocolate. It is considered a meditation wine par excellence, yet it finds its ideal gastronomic pairing with rich and structured dishes such as venison stew, long-cooked red meats, and aged cheeses with bold flavors like Bitto. Its longevity allows it to evolve beautifully in the cellar, refining its complexity over many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eSforzato di Valtellina in briefly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDenomination: Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG\u003cbr\u003eVintage: 2019\u003cbr\u003eDosage: Dry\u003cbr\u003eGrape variety: Nebbiolo - Chiavennasca\u003cbr\u003eRegion: Lombardy (IT), Chiuro (SO) \u003cbr\u003eRefinement: Wooden barrels\u003cbr\u003eServing temperature: 16\/18°C\u003cbr\u003eAlcohol content: 15,5% vol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWinery Pietro Nera\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith over 70 years of history, the Pietro Nera winery is one of the most important and prestigious wineries in Valtellina.
