TASTING NOTES

Production

The history of the Nino Negri winery stretches back a long way and is inextricably linked to the winemaking evolution of Valtellina. It all began in 1897 when Nino Negri decided to start a wine-making business in Chiuro, in the province of Sondrio. Growth continued steadily over the following decades, and by the post-war period it was one of the most promising in the area. After several changes of ownership, it now owns 33 hectares in the most prestigious areas, including Inferno, Grumello and Fracia, in the heart of Valgella, and has an average annual production of 800,000 bottles. The region’s flagship grape is a local variant of Nebbiolo, known here as Chiavennasca. The Sforzato di Valtellina 5 Stelle is a Lombardy red made from 100% Chiavennasca grapes and is one of the winery’s most prestigious wines. Following a late harvest, the grapes are first left to dry for at least 90 days, followed by fermentation and finally ageing in barriques for 16 months, plus a further 6 months in the bottle.

Organoleptic Characteristics

THE WINERY

Nino Negri

Nonino is one of the most iconic and revolutionary companies in the Italian distilling scene, a symbol of innovation, elegance, and profound respect for the raw material. Founded in 1897 in Percoto, Friuli Venezia Giulia, the distillery was born as an authentic expression of a family tradition that, generation after generation, has transformed grappa from a popular spirit into an internationally recognized product of excellence. Nonino's philosophy is based on a unique balance between tradition and innovation: each distillate must be the highest expression of the raw material, processed with rigor, sensitivity, and absolute respect. It is precisely thanks to this approach that the Nonino family has introduced a real revolution in the sector, raising the quality of grappa through the selection of fresh pomace and the introduction of single-varietal distillation. The raw materials come from selected grape varieties from the Friulian territory, where the temperate climate and suitable soils give fine and complex aromas. Distillation still takes place today according to artisanal methods, in discontinuous steam stills, with precise and careful cuts that allow the aromatic purity and fineness of the distillate to be enhanced. Each stage of the process is followed with extreme care, from the selection of the pomace to the possible refinement in wood, where time helps define structure, balance and depth. Each bottle of Nonino is a sensory journey through Friulian culture, a tale of family, territory, and passion, a hymn to the quality, research, and truth of the spirit. Name and address manufacturer: Nonino Distillatori – Via Aquileia, 104, 33050 Percoto (UD), Italy. Products should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from sources of heat and direct light.
