Description

The Alpi Retiche IGT Bianco produced by Nino Negri is a wine that reflects the uniqueness and diversity of the mountain territory of the Rhaetian Alps in Lombardy. This white wine is the result of Nino Negri's ability to create wines that express the richness and complexity of their terroir, in a geographical and climatic context particularly favorable for quality viticulture.

Visually, Alpi Retiche IGT Bianco has a light and bright straw yellow color, with greenish reflections that anticipate its freshness. On the nose, the wine unfolds a delicate and pleasantly aromatic bouquet, with notes of fresh fruit, such as green apple and pear, accompanied by floral nuances and a touch of minerality, typical of mountain wines.

On the palate, this white wine reveals itself to be light, fresh and harmonious. The acidity is well balanced and contributes to a pleasant sensation of liveliness, accompanied by delicate flavors of fresh fruit and a light herbaceous note in the finish, which adds complexity and persistence.

This wine is perfect for accompanying light appetizers, fish and seafood dishes, fresh salads and delicate cheeses. It is also an excellent choice as an aperitif, thanks to its ability to stimulate the appetite and be enjoyed in convivial moments.

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.

Awards and recognitions

The Valtellina Sfursat 5 Stelle 2021 by Nino Negri has been awarded the "Tre Bicchieri" distinction in Gambero Rosso’s Guide to Italian Wines.
