TASTING NOTES

Production

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.

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.
