Nera produces wine in Valtellina, a mountainous corner of Lombardia in northern Italy where Nebbiolo thrives on steep, sun-exposed slopes. The region's continental climate and schist-rich soils create conditions for concentrated, structured reds. Nera's Sforzato di Valtellina—made from partially dried Nebbiolo grapes—exemplifies the appellation's traditional method of intensifying flavor and alcohol. The wine has been assessed by Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast. Sforzato represents the apex of Valtellina winemaking: a dense, powerful expression of Nebbiolo that demands time in the glass and pairs with substantial dishes. The category demands precision in harvest timing and drying technique, disciplines that define quality producers in this demanding terrain.
