SFURSAT CARLO NEGRI Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG
Sfursat Carlo Negri by Nino Negri is a Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG wine made from Nebbiolo grapes that are naturally dried, aided by the fresh, dry Alpine winds. It is a rich and austere mountain red wine, with distinctive freshness and minerality. In the glass, it displays a medium-intensity ruby-red colour. The nose reveals aromas of ripe red fruit, pepper and cinnamon. On the palate, it is dry and full-bodied, with notes of dark fruit, firm tannins and a lingering finish of cloves and liquorice. It pairs beautifully with roasted red meats, game and aged cheeses.
