Valtellina Superiore DOCG - Grumello - Nino Negri 2020

Valtellina Superiore DOCG - Grumello - Nino Negri is an extraordinary example of red wine that celebrates the nobility of Nebbiolo, locally known as Chiavennasca, grown on the picturesque terraces of the Rhaetian Alps in Valtellina. The Nino Negri winery, a pillar of Valtellina viticulture with a history dating back over a century, produces this wine under the "Grumello" subzone, one of five specific areas designated for the production of Valtellina Superiore DOCG, known for its soils rich and ideal climatic conditions which contribute to giving the wine a unique structure and complexity.

TheGrumello stands out for its bright garnet red colour, which preludes a rich and intensely aromatic olfactory bouquet. The notes of ripe red fruit, in particular cherries and strawberries, blend harmoniously with floral nuances and an elegant mineral vein, enriched by touches of spices and a light hint of vanilla, the result of aging in wooden barrels which integrates complexity without overpower the varietal expression.

On the palate it reveals a balanced structure, with fine tannins and lively acidity which guarantees freshness and longevity. The wine unfolds in a range of flavors consistent with the olfactory sensations, evolving towards a persistent and distinctly mineral finish, which leaves room for a pleasant sensation of cleanliness and invites another sip.

Ideal in combination with meat dishes, such as braised and roasted meats, game and mature cheeses, Grumello is also an excellent wine for contemplation, capable of expressing the richness and complexity of Nebbiolo grown in the unique conditions of Valtellina.
