Casa vitivinicola Nino Negri. Via Ghibellini 3, 23030 Chiuro - Sondrio - Italy
Cuvée, Spumante Metodo Classico Brut by Nino Negri, comes from the spectacular vineyards of Valtellina Superiore, located along the slopes of the Retiche Alps in the province of Sondrio. Here the vineyards, located at an altitude of between 300 and 550 metres above sea level, benefit from optimal exposure. The soils are rocky and the steep terraces are supported by dry stone walls. The climate, with warm, sunny summers and cold winters, accompanied by considerable daily temperature fluctuations, contributes to the grapes' aromatic complexity. This Cuvée is produced from predominantly white grape varieties, carefully selected to guarantee quality and finesse. Harvesting takes place in late summer, when the grapes have reached perfect ripeness. After manual harvesting, the grapes undergo soft pressing, followed by static decantation of the must. The clear must is then sent for fermentation at a controlled temperature. At the end of fermentation, the wine stays on the fine lees for at least six months, enriching itself with aromas and structure. In June, the wine is then bottle-fermented, followed by at least nine months of ageing on its lees. A fine, persistent perlage, the nose reveals a fine, well-expressed bouquet, with distinct fragrances of bread crust and pleasant hints of apple and green bay leaf. On the palate, it is dry, full, savoury and clean, with extraordinary elegance and a long persistence. Ideal as an aperitif, it is also perfect with delicate foods. It pairs well with fish dishes, seafood, carpaccio and tartare, as well as grilled vegetables and fresh cheeses.
In Valtellina, Nino Negri represents one of the most important, and beautiful, wineries. The winery was founded at the end of the 19th century but has been part of the prestigious Gruppo Italiano Vini since 1986. Like so many fine Italian companies, Nino Negri's commitment in recent years has been shifting towards environmental sustainability. A total of thirty hectares are under vine, mostly on steep terraces that rise from the valley floor to the steep walls of the Alps framing the Valtellina. Viticulture here is heroic and laborious. Every operation, every treatment must be done by hand, without the help of machinery. But the results often repay such hard work. The wines from Valtellina, of which Nino Negri is one of the most shining representatives, are among the best loved by experts all over the world. From Sforzato to Valtellina Superiore, they are all wines to be tried without neglecting any of them.
