5 Stars Sfursat Black Star Edition: Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG 2020 in Magnum format

The 5 Stars Sfursat BLACK STAR EDITION Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG 2020 by Nino Negri is a red wine of great personality, offered in a special version and in a limited number of numbered bottles. It is made from Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca) from Valtellina and elegantly interprets one of the most prestigious expressions of Italian mountain wine. The Magnum format further enhances the bottle, making it ideal for important occasions and for long aging in the cellar.

Territory and wine style

The Valtellina DOCG is a unique territory, nestled between the Rhaetian Alps along the right bank of the Adda River, where viticulture develops on south-facing slopes and on sandy-silty, loose, and shallow soils. In this context, Chiavennasca finds an ideal environment to produce an intense yet measured wine, capable of combining structure, verticality, and mineral lift. The Sfursat is a traditional and noble expression of the territory, obtained from naturally dried grapes before vinification, thus concentrating aromas and substance.

Tasting notes

In the glass, the 5 Stars Sfursat BLACK STAR presents an intense garnet color with ruby reflections. On the nose, it offers a rich and enveloping profile, with hints of flowers, Mediterranean spices, balsamic nuances, and ripe black plum. With each sip, a balanced, full, and deep taste emerges, where the fruit is accompanied by a savory texture and a long, persistent finish. The structure is significant, but the wine always maintains a beautiful elegance and pleasant harmony.

Recommended pairings

This Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG pairs naturally with red meats, game, and aged cheeses. Its complexity also makes it perfect with braised dishes, roasts, game, and flavorful traditional cuisine. At the table, it shines with structured preparations that can support the aromatic richness and depth of the wine.

Serving temperature

Serve the 5 Stars Sfursat BLACK STAR at a temperature of 16-18 °C. If possible, it is advisable to open the bottle a little in advance to enhance the evolution of the aromas, especially in a Magnum format that pairs well with progressive oxygenation.
