Eroico rosso sforzato wine festival

Among the terraced vineyards of Valtellina, September welcomes the return of Eroico Rosso – Sforzato Wine Festival, a celebration of one of the noblest wines of the Rhaetic Alps. Two days entirely dedicated to Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG, the wine that symbolizes a territory where viticulture is an act of rare dedication, cultivated on slopes that defy gravity itself. In Tirano, at the heart of the valley, the festival transforms charming villages and historic wineries into an open-air school of enology, where you can discover how this nectar from dried grapes comes to life. The experience is immersive and authentic: guided tastings reveal every nuance of Sforzato paired with the most authentic flavors of Valtellina tradition – from alpine cheeses to bresaola, from pizzoccheri to local desserts. Producers and sommeliers share the heroic work of those who, every day, tend to vines on these steep hillsides, transforming their effort into quality. Masterclasses, visits to terraced vineyards, and entertainment complete a program that brings together enology, culture, and gastronomy. An unmissable opportunity for wine lovers and those wishing to understand the profound connection between a territory, its people, and the flavors that represent them. At Eroico Rosso, you don't simply taste a wine – you experience the history and passion of Valtellina.
