TASTING NOTES

The history of the Nino Negri winery goes back a long way and is inextricably linked to the oenological evolution of Valtellina. It all began in 1897, when Nino Negri decided to set up a wine business in Chiuro in the province of Sondrio. Growth accelerated in the decades to come; in the post-war period it was one of the most promising wineries in the area. After several changes of ownership, today it has 33 hectares of land in the most prestigious areas including Inferno, Grumello, and Fracia, at the heart of Valgella, with an average annual production of 800,000 bottles. The area's queen grape is a local variant of Nebbiolo called Chiavennasca. Sforzato 5 Stelle is made exclusively from Chiavennasca grapes from vineyards in the Valtellina DOC and DOCG designations that grow on the slopes of the Rhaetian Alps on the right bank of the Adda river. The grapes are selected in the vineyard, deposited on crates, and allowed to dry naturally in a drying loft, losing around 30% of their weight. Ageing lasts for two years, during which time the wine rests in French oak barriques. 5 Stelle Sforzato has an intense garnet colour with ruby reflections. It is explosively aromatic on the nose with notes of flowers and Mediterranean spices along with balsamic hints and an undertone of ripe black plum. In the mouth, it is extremely balanced with a beguiling crisp fruitiness. The finish is long and pleasantly full-flavoured. This Valtellina red is perfect for pairing with dishes based on read meat or mature cheeses. Read more Read less
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.
