Made from carefully dried grapes, it reveals a warm, rounded, and \u003cstrong\u003efull-bodied\u003c\/strong\u003e flavour profile. Its solid, harmonious structure ensures a long ageing potential, making it ideal for pairing with red meats, game, and mature cheeses. The colour is an intense ruby red, while the nose is characterised by a \u003cstrong\u003espicy bouquet\u003c\/strong\u003e with clear notes of jam and dried red flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction originates in the heart of Lombardy, on the terraces of Chiuro, within the historic areas of Valtellina Superiore and Rosso di Valtellina. The vines thrive between 400 and 650 metres above sea level, benefiting from a \u003cstrong\u003esouthern exposure\u003c\/strong\u003e that ensures optimal ripening and excellent aromatic concentration. This particular context of \u003cstrong\u003emountain viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e, marked by steep slopes, develops on \u003cstrong\u003eloose, acidic soils\u003c\/strong\u003e. This soil composition gives the wine a clear olfactory definition and a pronounced fullness on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with a late harvest and a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003edrying of the grapes\u003c\/strong\u003e carried out at around 350 metres above sea level for about two months. This is followed by two days of cryomaceration and subsequent fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks. The wine initially rests in stainless steel tanks for the definition of the \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e, then matures in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for eighteen months. Ageing concludes with a period of at least one year in bottle in \u003cstrong\u003ecool, dark cellars\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing the wine's structure to stabilise before release.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1925, the Rainoldi winery is behind this majestic \u003cstrong\u003eSfursat di Valtellina DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e, a true expression of mountain viticulture. The result of the expertise of oenologist Aldo Rainoldi, this excellent Nebbiolo is born on the sunny slopes of Chiuro. The grapes undergo a meticulous \u003cstrong\u003etwo-month drying process\u003c\/strong\u003e which concentrates their spicy aromas, jammy notes and hints of dried red flowers. The prestigious ageing of 18 months in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by a year in the bottle, gives rise to a warm red wine with a vigorous and extraordinarily harmonious character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rainoldi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46305338982571,"sku":"60749","price":43.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/rainoldi-sfursat-di-valtellina-2022_60749_1_1b216166-7489-46bf-8ea1-f4ee47b607b7.webp?v=1773815133","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/rainoldi-sfursat-di-valtellina-2022","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
