Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG 2018 Le Strie
Le Strie’s Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG 2018 is the most intense and distinctive interpretation of mountain Chiavennasca. It hails from the heroic terraces of Valtellina, between Sassella and Valgella, where vines climb between 400 and 600 meters on poor and well-ventilated soils.
The grapes are harvested by hand in October and subjected to natural drying in a fruit-drying room until January, concentrating aromas and structure. This is followed by a long maceration with spontaneous fermentation and patient aging for 24 months in large oak barrels, before an extended rest in the bottle.
The result is a deep and complex Sfursat, yet surprisingly smooth. It doesn't aim for excessive softness, but rather for freshness, tension, and aromatic precision. A warm, full-bodied wine that combines alpine power and drinkability, while maintaining an intact connection to the territory.
