    "Sfursat 5 Stelle" Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG 2021
  • Sfursat 5 Stelle, Valtellina DOCG by Nino Negri, was born in the heart of Valtellina, precisely in Chiuro in the province of Sondrio. This area is characterised by a fascinating mountain landscape, with vineyards climbing the steep slopes of the Rhaetian Alps, thanks to historical terracing, built with dry stone walls. The climate here is unique, with cold winters and hot summers, mitigated by cool air currents from the mountains that create ideal conditions for growing Nebbiolo, here called Chiavennasca. The soil, rich in minerals, gives the wines an inimitable complexity and structure. After the harvest, the Nebbiolo grapes are placed in boxes, each containing a single layer of grapes for a maximum of 4 kg. These boxes are then transferred to the drying lofts, where the grapes wither naturally, losing about 30 per cent of their weight. This drying concentrates the sugars and aromas in the grapes, giving the wine greater intensity and complexity. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, allowing the fruity and floral aromas of the Nebbiolo to be preserved. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months before being bottled and put on the market. To the eye, Sfursat 5 Stelle presents a ruby colour of good intensity with violet reflections. On the nose, it opens with hints of violets, ripe red berry fruit, plums and sweet spices just hinted at. In the mouth, it is fresh, rich and full-bodied, with a robust structure and a lingering, savoury finish. A wine that can be enjoyed immediately, its structure and complexity give it excellent ageing potential. It can be kept for several years, during which it will develop further nuances and greater harmony. Perfect for accompanying rich and flavoursome dishes, it pairs beautifully with braised and roasted meats. It is also ideal with truffle preparations or well-aged Bitto cheese.

    In Valtellina, Nino Negri represents one of the most important, and beautiful, oenological realities. 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 the Sforzato to the Valtellina Superiore, they are all wines to be tried without neglecting any of them.
