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. Vigna Ca’ Guicciardi is vinified as a red wine using pump-overs and delestage, followed by ageing for at least 12 months in medium-sized oak barrels. It is then aged for a further 6 months in the bottle. E=100 ml: 311 kJ / 75 kcal

Organoleptic Characteristics

A brilliant ruby red colour of good intensity, with an intense aroma of ripe red fruit, dominated by notes of black cherry and redcurrant, and spices such as liquorice, cloves and cinnamon. On the palate, the tannins are rich and enveloping, the result of ripening in a warm, sunny environment.

Occasion and Pairing

Ideal with roast red meat, lamb, kid, game or mature cheeses.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.

THE WINERY

Nino Negri

Of all the wine cellars in Lombardy, perhaps Nino Negri's is one of those that has succeeded best in combining traditional techniques with the most complex and avant-garde innovations. Between French and American oak barriques, the oldest traditions of the Valtellina region, where the winery and its vineyards have been in operation for more than a century, still find their place. After careful renovation work aimed at striking a balance between old and new, the company has created a production of high-quality grappas and Lombardy wines with a strong character and rich history. Its territory lies on the slopes of the Valtellina mountains, in an area sheltered from the north wind and exposed to the sun. The area's microclimate is exploited to the full during cultivation, in order to be able to count on excellent grapes that give the final product a class and finesse that is typical of Lombardy. Name and address of producer/distributor: Nino Negri - Via Ghibellini, 3, 23030 Chiuro (SO). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
