The winery is known for its traditional winemaking techniques, combined with modern technology, resulting in exceptional wines that have gained international recognition.
The winery is situated in the Chianti Classico region, which is known for its rolling hills, picturesque vineyards, and ideal climate for growing grapes. This region is considered the heart of Tuscany and is renowned for producing some of the finest wines in the world. The vineyards at Sforno Winery are located in the commune of Castellina in Chianti, which is one of the most prestigious areas within the Chianti Classico region.

The winery produces a range of wines, including their signature Chianti Classico, which is made from a blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, and Colorino grapes. This wine is a true representation of the region and has a medium body with notes of red fruit, spices, and a hint of oak.
In addition to their Chianti Classico, Sforno Winery also produces other red wines such as their Super Tuscan blend, as well as a white wine made from the Vernaccia grape. They also produce a range of grappa, a traditional Italian spirit made from the pomace of grapes.

Sforno Winery
Sforno Winery is a red wine producer based in Mendoza, Argentina. The winery produces kosher-certified wines, placing it within a small but established category of Argentine producers making wines that meet Jewish dietary law requirements under rabbinical supervision.
Mendoza is Argentina's most significant wine region, situated at the eastern foothills of the Andes at elevations that can range from roughly 600 to over 1,400 metres above sea level. The combination of high altitude, intense sunlight, wide diurnal temperature swings, and arid conditions, with irrigation fed by Andean snowmelt, creates an environment well suited to producing concentrated, structured red wines. Malbec, originally from southwestern France, has become the defining grape of the region, typically expressing dark fruit, violet notes, and firm but approachable tannins in this terroir.
Sforno's available range includes a Reserva-level Malbec from the 2021 vintage, blended with Syrah. The Reserva designation in Argentina generally indicates a wine that has undergone additional aging relative to the producer's entry-level offerings, and the inclusion of Syrah alongside Malbec is a stylistic choice that can add spice, depth, and structure to the blend.
