Description

Mamete Prevostini’s Albareda is a powerful yet finely balanced Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG, made from Nebbiolo grapes naturally concentrated through drying. This traditional method gives the wine its depth and warmth, while its alpine freshness and mineral character keep the richness in balance—a distinctive expression of one of Valtellina’s historic wine styles.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a concentrated red appearance, with aromas of spirit-soaked plum and small red fruits layered with alpine herbs, mint, liquorice and cocoa. Full-bodied and structured on the palate, it brings firm tannins into harmony with mineral freshness, leading to a long, persistent, spice-laced finish. Its substantial structure suggests it can develop further in bottle, with the potential for the fruit, spice and balsamic nuances to gain added complexity over time.

Production
The Nebbiolo comes from vineyards in the historic Sassella and Grumello zones of Valtellina Superiore, where Guyot-trained vines grow at 350–550 metres above sea level. Sandy, silty soils with no limestone lie over weathered granite, with occasional traces of clay. The finest bunches are selected at harvest, then dried in a fruit-drying room for around 100 days and left in the open air until mid-January. Fermentation and a 26-day maceration take place in wooden vats, followed by 20 months of ageing in wood and further bottle rest.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C, ideally after allowing the wine to breathe; decanting for about an hour can help open its layered aromas and soften the impression of its tannins. Pair it with braised or roasted red meats, game, rich mushroom dishes or mature hard cheeses.
