The history of the Nino Negri winery begins a long time ago and is closely linked to the winemaking evolution of Valtellina. It all began in 1897 when Nino Negri decided to start a winemaking business in Chiuro, in the province of Sondrio. Growth continues to grow in the decades to come, and after the war it was one of the most promising in the area. After several changes of ownership, it can now count 33 hectares in the most prestigious areas including Inferno, Grumello and Fracia, in the heart of Valgella and an average annual production of 800,000 bottles. The queen grape of the area is a local variant of Nebbiolo which here is called Chiavennasca. Vigna Ca' Guicciardi is vinified in red with reassemblies and delestage, followed by aging for at least 12 months in medium-capacity oak barrels. Refine further for at least 6 months in bottle.
