These vineyards are situated on steep, terraced slopes, exposed to the sun and cultivated on granite soils. The grapes are hand-picked during harvest and undergo a long maceration and fermentation process to extract their maximum aromatic and tannic potential. Subsequently, the wine is aged in wooden barrels for a variable period, usually more than two years, to allow it to develop complexity and structure. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"wine_table\" width=\"100%\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: solid 2px #FFF;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"border-bottom: solid 2px #FFF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35%; background: #e1e1e1;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 35%; background: #e1e1e1;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDenomination:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65%; background: #f1f1f1;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 65%; background: #f1f1f1;\"\u003eValtellina Superiore Riserva DOCG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: solid 2px #FFF;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"border-bottom: solid 2px #FFF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35%; background: #e1e1e1;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 35%; background: #e1e1e1;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGrape Varieties:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65%; background: #f1f1f1;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 65%; background: #f1f1f1;\"\u003e100% Nebbiolo Chiavennasca\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: solid 2px #FFF;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"border-bottom: solid 2px #FFF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35%; background: #e1e1e1;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 35%; background: #e1e1e1;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlcohol Content:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65%; background: #f1f1f1;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 65%; background: #f1f1f1;\"\u003e14%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: solid 2px #FFF;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"border-bottom: solid 2px #FFF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35%; background: #e1e1e1;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 35%; background: #e1e1e1;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVineyards:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65%; background: #f1f1f1;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 65%; background: #f1f1f1;\"\u003eplanted on steep, terraced slopes, exposed to the sun and cultivated on granite-rich soils\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: solid 2px #FFF;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"border-bottom: solid 2px #FFF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35%; background: #e1e1e1;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 35%; background: #e1e1e1;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWinemaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65%; background: #f1f1f1;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 65%; background: #f1f1f1;\"\u003eFermentation in steel with approximately two weeks of maceration, 12 months of aging in wood\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: solid 2px #FFF;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"border-bottom: solid 2px #FFF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35%; background: #e1e1e1;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 35%; background: #e1e1e1;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eServing Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65%; background: #f1f1f1;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 65%; background: #f1f1f1;\"\u003e16-18°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch6 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Winery: Sandro Fay\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSandro Fay is a winery based in the Valtellina region of Lombardy. Founded by Sandro Fay in the 1970s, the company has become one of the most renowned wineries in the region, specializing in the production of fine wines made from Nebbiolo grapes. The history of the Sandro Fay winery began when Sandro, a young viticulture enthusiast, decided to follow in his father's footsteps in wine production. Valtellina, a mountainous valley located in the central Alps, offers a unique terroir, with steep, sun-exposed slopes and granite soils, ideal for cultivating Nebbiolo grapes, locally known as Chiavennasca. Sandro Fay began planting Nebbiolo vines on the mountain slopes, utilizing traditional terraces and the pergola architecture typical of Valtellina. This cultivation technique allows the vines to receive the right amount of sun and protect themselves from temperature fluctuations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sandro Fay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052120392029,"sku":"faycarteria","price":34.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/3615\/3769\/files\/IMG_1723.jpg?v=1689238988","url":"https:\/\/www.ilvinoso.com\/en-en\/products\/valtellina-carteria-2018-sandro-fay","provider":"Enoteca Il Vinoso","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
