It originates from a careful selection of the best bunches from the areas of \u003cstrong\u003eSassella\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eGrumello\u003c\/strong\u003e, one of the most vocated zones of the denomination, and stands out for its structure, aromatic depth, and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTerritory and wine style\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eValtellina\u003c\/strong\u003e is a unique alpine territory, where viticulture develops on steep slopes and in conditions that favor wines with a tense, identity-driven, and very gastronomic profile. In this context, \u003cstrong\u003eSforzato di Valtellina DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e represents one of the most intense expressions of \u003cstrong\u003emountain Nebbiolo\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the case of Albareda, the appassimento of the grapes for about 100 days concentrates aromas, sugars, and substance, giving rise to a rich wine that is always recognizable for its finesse and sapidity. Maturation in oak and bottle aging complete a complex and harmonious profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlbareda 2015 presents a deep, dense color, typical of wines with great extraction.

The overall sensation is that of an intense, enveloping, and persistent wine, capable of uniting power and elegance in a very balanced way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to its structure, \u003cstrong\u003eAlbareda 2015 Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs well with important and flavorful dishes.
