WINE DESCRIPTION
La Perla Quattro Soli Sforzato della Valtellina is a premium red wine produced by La Perla winery in the Valtellina region of Italy. This wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the steep terraced vineyards of the region, which are known for their unique soil composition and high altitude. The winemaking process involves a meticulous selection of the best grapes, followed by a long maceration and aging in oak barrels for several years. The resulting wine is a full-bodied and complex expression of the Nebbiolo grape, with intense aromas of dark fruit, spices, and tobacco, and a long and persistent finish.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This La Perla Quattro Soli Sforzato della Valtellina is a deeply complex, yet surprisingly smooth red wine.On the nose, intense aromas of dark fruits, black pepper, and hints of earthiness mingle with subtle notes of chocolate, tobacco, and leather. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and intense, offering a ripe and concentrated core of dark berry fruits, balanced by a firm acidity and fine tannins. The finish is long and persistent, with a lingering hint of chocolate, tobacco, and leather. An outstanding example of a classic Italian red.

ORIGINS
Winery: La Perla
Region: Lombardy
Lombardy is a region in the north of Italy, located in the foothills of the Alps. With a long history of winemaking, Lombardy is one of the most prolific wine regions in Italy, producing a wide range of styles from sparkling to still wines.
The history of winemaking in Lombardy dates back to the Roman Empire, when the region was known as Cisalpine Gaul. During this period, the Romans planted vineyards and developed winemaking techniques that are still used today. In the Middle Ages, Lombardy was an important center of winemaking, with many monasteries producing wine for religious ceremonies. In the 19th century, Lombardy was one of the first regions in Italy to embrace modern winemaking techniques, such as the use of oak barrels and the introduction of new grape varieties.CUSTOMER RATING
