Descrizione

It shows a deep ruby robe with garnet highlights, a concentrated yet controlled character: on the nose ripe red fruit, plum and hints of dried cherry emerge, accompanied by discreet notes of sweet spice and cocoa. On the palate it is full and enveloping; the concentration does not overwhelm the balance thanks to a fresh acidic spine and a savory sapidity that keeps the wine poised. The tannins are present but well-rounded, providing structure without drying; the alcoholic warmth is noticeable, integrated into the overall texture. A subtle earthy note is also perceptible, adding depth.

In the mouth it evolves progressively, rewarding those who let it breathe: it opens up to a long, pleasant persistence that invites the next glass. It is ideal with braised meats, stewed game and aged cheeses, but also stands up well to richer pairings featuring dark chocolate. Serve at a moderate temperature and, if possible, decant for at least an hour to appreciate its full expressiveness.

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.
