About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
Corte di Cama is a Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG made from grapes grown in multiple parcels across the Valtellina Superiore area. The vineyards lie in the districts of Berbenno, Sondrio, Montagna and Teglio, at elevations between 350 and 500 metres, with southern exposure. The soil is predominantly sandy and derives from granitic rock debris, with clay occurring only rarely. The vines are trained using the Guyot system.
Grapes
100% Nebbiolo. Only the best bunches are selected, then naturally dried to concentrate their aromas.
Vinification
For the 2020 vintage, harvesting began on 28 September and the bunches were placed in small crates. They dried naturally for approximately 60 days in the ventilated fruttaio on the top floor of the CasaClima Wine cellar, remaining there until around the beginning of December. After careful selection, the grapes were destemmed and gently pressed. Alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless-steel vessels, with the skins macerating in the must for 18 days.
Ageing
The 2020 technical sheet specifies maturation for 12 months in oak vessels of various capacities, followed by 10 months in bottle. The current wine page gives a longer period of 18 months in oak casks, followed by the same 10 months in bottle.
Technical data
The 2020 wine has 15.5% alcohol. Production amounted to 18,000 bottles. Available formats are 0.375 L, 0.75 L, 1.5 L, 3 L and 5 L.
Tasting profile
