Nino Negri | Lombardy

Nino Negri's “Màzèr Valtellina Superiore DOCG” is an impressive interpretation of the indigenous Nebbiolo grape (locally known as “Chiavennasca”) in the alpine terroir of Lombardy. Some of the grapes are dried for a few days after harvesting—a process that increases the concentration of aromas and gives the wine additional structure. This is followed by classic fermentation and aging in wooden barrels and barriques, which gives the wine both depth and...

Nino Negri's “Vigna Ca' Guicciardi” Inferno Valtellina Superiore DOCG is an impressive example of the extreme terroir of the Inferno subzone in Valtellina.

Nino Negri's “Carlo Negri” Sfursat di Valtellina DOCG represents a particularly sophisticated expression of the Sfursat style. Made from Nebbiolo grapes, known locally as Chiavennasca, the berries are dried in so-called “fruttaio” (fruit chambers) for about three months after harvesting to increase the concentration of sugar and aromas. This appassimento process, aided by the cool, dry Alpine winds, results in a wine with an intense structure and pronounced aromatics. After drying,...

Nino Negri's “5 Stelle Sfursat” is an outstanding example of the art of appassimento in Valtellina. Made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, known locally as Chiavennasca, the grapes are dried in flat boxes under controlled conditions after harvesting to increase the concentration of sugar and aromas. After drying, fermentation takes place with long maceration, followed by 16 months of aging in French barriques and a further 6 months in the bottle. This elaborate process results in a wine of remarkable...

Nino Negri's “Vigna Sassorosso Grumello Valtellina Superiore” is an elegant single vineyard in the Valtellina DOCG region of Lombardy, characterized by a particularly distinctive terroir: The Sassorosso vineyard rises on a rocky promontory, separated from the rest of the slope, with iron-rich rock inclusions, a sandy-loamy topsoil, and metamorphic subsoil—ideal conditions for the deep-rooted Chiavennasca (“Nebbiolo”) grape. The wine is demanding in terms of aging: half of it matures in...
