A local name for Sforzato, a DOC red wine from Valtellina in Lombardy, Sforzato is is made from Chiavennasca grapes (the local name for Nebbiolo) using the appassimento (drying grapes) method. As Vino Mania Wines say (link below): These 100% Nebbiolo wines are reminiscent of Amarone from the Veneto, but more savoury and spicy. They are also described as like a cross between Barolo and Amarone.
