Descrizione

The Bianco Alpi Retiche IGT "Ca' Brione" by Nino Negri is a white wine that enhances the uniqueness of the terroir of the Lombard Rhaetian Alps. This wine represents a refined example of how mountain viticulture can produce white wines of great character and complexity, thanks to the particular combination of selected grape varieties and the influence of the Alpine microclimate.

Visually, it has a bright straw yellow color, with greenish reflections that underline its freshness. On the nose, the wine offers an aromatic and complex bouquet, with notes of white pulp fruit, such as apple and pear, combined with floral nuances and a light touch of minerality and spices, the result of partial refinement in barrique.

On the palate, this Bianco Alpi Retiche IGT reveals an extraordinary balance between acidity and body, with a vibrant freshness that intertwines with rich and layered flavors of fruit, herbaceous notes and an elegant background of vanilla and wood. The finish is long and persistent, with a pleasant minerality that invites another sip.

Perfect in combination with refined appetizers, fish, seafood and white meat dishes, Nino Negri's "Ca' Brione" is also an excellent companion for Asian and vegetarian dishes, thanks to its ability to balance aromatic richness and freshness.

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.
