The Valtellina Superiore DOCG - 375ml - Quadrio - Nino Negri is a wine that embodies the passion and craftsmanship of mountain viticulture, produced in the evocative setting of Valtellina by Nino Negri, a winery that boasts a centuries-old history in the production of quality wines . This "Quadrio" selection, presented in a practical 375ml format, represents an excellent opportunity to savor the excellence of Nebbiolo from Valtellina, known locally as Chiavennasca, on a more intimate occasion or for those who wish to explore wine without committing to a standard size bottle.

Ruby red in color tending towards garnet with aging, the Quadrio opens with a complex and inviting nose, where notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, are intertwined, enriched by nuances of violet, spices and a light balsamic touch. This olfactory complexity is the result of both the varietality of Nebbiolo and the aging in wood, which gives the wine additional layers of depth without overpowering the freshness of the fruit.

On the palate it shows a perfect balance between acidity and tannins, the latter finely worked to guarantee a pleasant and enveloping drink. The structure is elegant, with a medium body that supports the aromatic richness well, leading to a persistent and harmonious finish, where mineral and spicy reminiscences typical of the Valtellina terroir emerge.

This wine pairs beautifully with red meat dishes, game and mature cheeses, offering a versatility that also makes it suitable as a meditation wine, thanks to its ability to evolve and reveal new nuances in the glass.

Winery history

Production philosophy
The winery aims to highlight the distinctive character of Chiavennasca through mountain viticulture, careful selection of cru and winemaking techniques that reflect the valley’s microclimatic and soil variations. It combines local tradition with modern methods to produce wines that express the territory.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards are in Valtellina, cultivated on steep terraces with dry-stone walls in historic subzones such as Sassella, Grumello, Inferno and Valgella. The soil is often shallow, rich in schist and quartz fragments; exposure and a wide diurnal temperature range give the wines structure, acidity and minerality.
