The San Gervasio vineyard extends over an area of 2,5 hectares in the commune of Teglio at 750 metres. After four years of experimentation, Sandro Fay decided to grow grapes that are suitable for partial drying (appassimento in Italian) in this high-altitude vineyard featuring peculiar characteristics. The resulting wine is Sforzato Ronco del Picchio, whose name refers to a small wooded area behind the vineyard that was studied during the first research phase, always in the hamlet of Carterìa.

Grape variety: Nebbiolo (Chiavenasca)

Vinification: Drying of grapes in boxes for about three months after the harvest. The aging in barrique for 12 months completes the cellar process.

Tasting notes: A deep garnet red colour. Nose is powerful, with intense hints of ripe red fruits, morello cherry and dried plum, which are followed by spicy and tobacco notes. In the mouth it is broad, powerful, with great body but a balance that conceals the important alcohol content, tannins present but not aggressive, good acidity. Excellent persistence.

Alcohol content: 15.5 % vol.

Food pairing: meat, better if stewed or braised. Game with sauces and local cheeses are ideal companions.

Serve at  16°-18°C

Awards (2013): Super Tre Stelle in Guida Oro Veronelli 2018, Slow Wine Awards 2018
