Valtellina Superiore DOCG Inferno - Vigna ca' Guicciardi - Nino Negri represents a wine excellence from the homonymous Valtellina area, known for its steep slopes and unique terroir that gives the wines character and structure. This cru, produced mainly with Nebbiolo grapes (locally Chiavennasca), expresses intensity and finesse thanks to a rigorous selection of the best grapes coming from vineyards situated at about 400-500 meters of altitude.



The wine matures in wooden barrels where it develops elegant aromas of red fruits, spices, and light balsamic notes, accompanied by a soft yet vivid tannin and a fresh acidity that makes it balanced and long-lasting. On the palate, it is complex, with a pleasant mineral savoriness, a sign of the rocky soil where it is born.



Perfect when paired with traditional Valtellina dishes, red meats, and aged cheeses, it offers an authentic and engaging sensory experience.

Winery history
Founded by Nino Negri and with deep roots in Chiuro, the winery has more than a century of history. The company website records historical milestones, from the 15th‑century palazzo that houses the winery to the company's official registration and subsequent phases of growth; in recent years Nino Negri joined Gruppo Italiano Vini and has benefited from the work of prominent oenologists who contributed to the winery's qualitative development.
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.
