Result of the vinification of Nebbiolo grapes dried for a long time in the fruit room until they concentrated sugar content and aromas due to the effect of natural dehydration, Sforzato, cited in the bibliography with a certain frequency starting from the eighteenth century, was introduced on the market in 1946 by Pietro Plozza. A wine of uncommon depth and envelopment, it reflects with great sensitivity the pedoclimatic characteristics of the Valtellina area and highlights a sumptuous structure surrounded by fragrant memories of plum, jam, red fruits and green pepper accompanied by a significant acid-tannic complement. The maturation in second passage barriques and in native chestnut barrels enhances its body and aromatic complexity: warm and robust, in the mouth it coherently presents fruit and spices which converge in an elegant final persistence. To try with samples of seasoned Bitto, or to drink to complete a large roast or a fine fillet
