PRODUCT DETAILS
The Castelli Giro Sforzato Jersey has been made to celebrate this year’s designated Wine Stage of the Giro. Stage 16, the 200km route from Salò to Aprica, will not only be an epic day of mountain climbing for the pros, but also a gala day for the fans, thanks to the ready availability of Sforzato di Valtellina passito wine. Produced in its namesake region, it holds the DOCG designation, the highest classification of quality among Italian wines, so you know it’ll be worth a taste!
Made from 100% recycled Sitip yarns, the #Giro Sforzato Jersey comes in fitting shades of wine red and is decorated with vine leaves and flowers to echo Italy’s vineyards and the full bodied, spicey red wine.
Designed to blend comfort with performance, the main body of the jersey is made from Velo Light fabric, which offers exceptional stretch and the wicking ability needed for tackling relentless climbs like those of this Wine Stage. Meanwhile, the sleeves are constructed from a highly breathable 3D mesh that is both form-fitting and breathable.
Cut to hug your figure while accommodating a variety of shapes and allowing room for a slap-up meal at the vineyards – or, alternatively, a humbler cake stop – the jersey closes with an easy-to-pull YKK® Vislon® zipper, while silicone gripper elastic at the waist holds it in place as you cycle.
It’s a sleek, comfortable and environmentally friendly tribute to Italy’s tradition of wine making, one that runs through the veins of its people just as certainly as cheering on the pros during La Corsa Rosa does.
