Lombardia
One of the most important wine-growing areas in Lombardy is Valtellina, which is undoubtedly the most important wine-producing part for the production of red wines. It is mainly known for the production of red wines based on nebbiolo (locally called Chiavennasca), where this grape variety takes on unique characteristics of finesse and complexity. A "mountain" nebbiolo could be said. In the Valtellina, in the north of the region, excellent Nebbiolo are produced such as Sforzato, or Sfursat, a powerful and full-bodied wine produced from withered Nebbiolo grapes, the Inferno or the Grumello.
