Pairing Red meats, aged cheeses
It shows an essential, measured character typical of high‑altitude wines: a bright ruby robe with garnet highlights and aromas that swing between fresh red fruits, light floral notes and a spicy hint. There is a discreet minerality that refines the aromatic profile, making the nose more vertically oriented than opulent; on the palate it confirms this impression, with lively freshness, well‑polished tannins and a savory texture that supports the wine without weighing it down. In the Nino Negri expression one perceives balance and purity, qualities that invite sipping.

On the palate the persistence is pleasant: the fruit returns, there are earthy hints and a dry finish that cleanses the palate. It is a suitable companion to mountain cuisine and refined rustic dishes: light braises, roasts, polenta with meat sauces, mushrooms and medium‑aged cheeses highlight its freshness and structure. Serve at around 16–18 °C, with a short airing if you prefer it more open; a red able to combine character and drinkability.

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.
