Fresh yellow with greenish reflections. Balsamic, elegant, slightly reductive bouquet with hints of apple, pear and spices, delicate nuances of strawberries and almond blossom. Deep and rich on the palate, yet fresh and harmonious, with an elegant, very pleasant bitter note on the long final and a fresh acidity paired with minerality.

Producer Information

Nino Negri is the leading wine estate (in terms of size and profile) in the Valtellina region of Lombardy in Northern Italy, producing wines mainly from Chiavennasca, the local name for Nebbiolo. It is particularly known for its Sfursat or Sforzato (“strained” or “forced”) a style of dry red wine made from air dried grapes. Founded in 1897, the company owns 31 hectares (76.6 acres) of vineyards in the Valtellina Superiore DOCG zones of Sassella, Grumello, Inferno and Valgella. As is common in the region, many of the vineyards are on rocky, steeply terraced slopes which rule out any mechanization. Topsoils are sandy and can be very shallow, so vine roots are often forced into cracks in the rocks beneath. The winery is located in the city of Chiuro in the 15th-Century Castello Quadrio. Underneath the building are extensive cellars housing thousands of barrels. Wines are mainly aged in French oak barriques though American oak barrels also feature. All Nino Negri wines are aged for at least two years before release.
