Sfursat 5 Stelle Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG 2020

Cantina Nino Negri has existed for more than a century in Chiuro, in the heart of Valtellina. Since 1897, entire generations have carried on their shoulders the experience and ancient knowledge of mountain viticulture. An amphitheatre surrounded by the high slopes of the Lombardy Alps and two thousand five hundred kilometres of thousand-year-old dry stone walls. A place bathed in the sun's rays and pervaded by wide temperature ranges, protected by high mountain ranges that keep out the icy northern winds and inhibit the damp southern sirocco. Here, many years ago, the vines known as Chiavennasca found their place. In this happy position, the Nebbiolo grapes have the opportunity and time to absorb all the nuances and peculiarities of the terroir, and to transfer them to a wine that is, to all intents and purposes, unique. Starting in the 2000s, the winery founded by Nino Negri became the flagship of the Gruppo Italiano Vini, also thanks to the work of oenologist Casimiro Maule (Oenologist of the Year in 2007), in office until 2017, and Danilo Drocco, who now heads the winery.
