Marcel Zanolari 2011 Sforzato di Valtellina Superiore "Anfore"

This wine is farmed and fermented similarly to the house's other Sforzato Superiore, with the major difference of extended elevage in "Le Anfore" (anfora vessel). After a gentle drying in the cellar the grapes, less ~25% of their water-weight, are naturally fermented in stainless steel followed by 20 months of elevage in neutral barrique, followed by an additional 24 months in anfora.
