SFURSAT CARLO NEGRI

SFORZATO DI VALTELLINA DOCG 2019

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.

SENSORY PROFILE

FOOD PAIRING

Roast red meats, game, mature cheeses (particularly the local Bitto).
