One of Italy’s most interesting and least-know wines, Sforzato di Valetellina is made with dried Nebbiolo grapes in much the same way Amarone is made. In fact, sforzato means “forced” in Italian and alludes to the extra concentration given to the wine. With herbal and some bitter, leafy green notes, it’s not a wine for everyone; it’s sour in the mouth with an acid-driven close.

Dried, or appassiti grapes, are added to this Nebbiolo-based wine to enhance intensity and flavor. The result is a medium-structured ruby wine with floral notes backed by forest berry, dried currant and bitter almonds. The wine finishes with smoky tannins.
