Partner for seafood and light fish dishes." Vinum

“Mazér” Valtellina Superiore DOCG 2019
"Mazér" is a Valtellina dialect word meaning distinguished, an apt description for the character of this wine. It is a Valtellina Superiore and the quintessence of Nino Negri's experience in making the Chiavennasca grape (Nebbiolo) since 1897. A small part of the Nebbiolo grapes is dried for a few days - concentrating the juice of the grapes - and then mixed with the rest of the grape mass.
Pure bouquet of red fruits, underlaid with a hint of tobacco, hints of mineral notes on the palate, plus fine tannins, perfectly integrated into an appealing acid structure. A very authentic, classic and full-bodied wine with alpine character. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2019 Valtellina Superiore Mazer is a pretty big wine. Ample in feel and quite rustic, the 2019 packs plenty of punch in its deceptively medium-bodied frame. A blast of red cherry, iron, herbs, licorice and mint adds to an impression of wildness and gravitas. This potent, super-ripe Valtellina has a ton to offer." Vinous

“Le Tense” Sassella Valtellina Superiore DOCG 2020
"Le Tense" is made from grapes that come exclusively from the Sassella DOCG subzone. During the Swiss rule (1512 - 1797), the best vineyards were "secured" by armed guards and this is how it got its name. They thus became probably the most famous vineyards of the appellation. The selection of the vines produces a wine that expresses the character of the soil: ancient stones and rocks that represent the terroir of Sassella. Nebbiolo from Sassella produces elegant aromas and delicate, harmonious flavours that are typical of Valtellina's alpine reds.
Silky and polished with wild berries, blueberries, bitter almond, crushed rock, ash and mild spice. It has all those ethereal and finely balanced flavours of a Valtellina nebbiolo, but they are presented in a slightly more direct and approachable way. The firm tannins are enveloped by a beautiful fruit, and the medium-length finish fades out harmoniously. A beautiful wine from the far north of Lombardy. SUPERIORE.DE

“Demesse Vecchie” Lugana DOC 2021
Demesse Vecchie is named after the village where Olivini has its family seat. The historic part of the vineyard was home to a nunnery in the late 17th century. The addition "vecchie" promises that the grapes for this very complex Lugana come from the estate's oldest vines, some of which are over 50 years old. They are also harvested late and carefully selected, after which they are matured on the fine lees for several months.
Straw yellow with golden reflections. Orange peel, juicy peaches and hints of almond butter on the ripe nose. Full and delicately fruity on the palate, with delicate notes of vanilla and honey, some apricot and banana. A well-balanced, dry wine with a wonderful balance between fruit and acidity and by no means heavy or broad, but infinitely long. SUPERIORE.DE
"This wine from the estate's single vineyard opens with aromas of ripe pears, lemon peel and oil, citrus blossom and a hint of river stone. The round palate offers a blend of fruit, grapefruit and tangerine, followed by mouth-watering acidity and a savoury finish." Wine Enthusiast
"Chalky phenols meet an oaky touch that leads the way to a palate of spiced fruit, lanolin and melon accents. The acidity, fresh as sea spray, ensures a very good length. Very drinkable." James Suckling

Just don't lose track now.
Every year about 140 million litres of wine are produced in Lombardy - about 2.5 percent of the total Italian production. The proportion of DOCG and DOC is above average at more than half. Lombardy has almost 22,000 hectares of vineyards and is divided into five DOCG and 21 DOC areas. The most common red grape varieties are Barbera, Bonarda, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Nebbiolo and Pinot Nero. The white varieties are dominated by Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Trebbiano varieties. Pure wines are in the minority. And there are an incredible number of different labels. Hard to remember. That is why the wines of the region are mostly considered unspectacular. Wrongly. It is therefore probable that Lombardy has not yet been able to establish its own identity alongside Piedmont and Veneto.
But one DOCG region of Lombardy has gained a worldwide reputation: Franciacorta.
Because this is Maurizio Zanella's home. His winery Ca' del Bosco is regarded as one of the best Italian producers of sparkling and still wines and was founded in 2003 by the "Gambero Rosso"the "Bible" for Italian wines, named Winery of the Year. Zanella ensured that an almost unknown cultivation area, the area between Brescia and Bergamo, whose calcareous soils offer similar conditions as the Champagne, became the sparkling stronghold of Italy and a place on the vinophile world map: the Franciacorta.
The pearls "artworks" Franciacorta.
The DOCG Franciacorta, outstanding from the variety of zones, stands for Brut sparkling wines according to the classic method of bottle fermentation, called Metodo Classico in Italy. The products produced there therefore do not have to hide from the famous French counterparts. The gentle hilly country east of Milan was hardly known even in Italy in the seventies. Maurizio Zanella was committed to quality right from the start. His Franciacorta Cuvée Annamaria Clementi - like many other sparkling wines of the DOCG Franciacorta - has long been considered to be a sparkling "artwork". Franciacorta may be one of the smallest wine regions in Italy, but the maxim here is: only the best is good enough.
Among the most outstanding Italian wines are the Nebbiolo red wines from the DOCG Valtellina Superiore with its subzones Grumello, Inferno, Maroggia, Sassella, and Valgella, located in the last Alpine valley before the Swiss border, as well as the Stagafassli, which actually already lies on Swiss territory. The Nebbiolo is called here by the way with the synonym Chiavennasca. Although the wines are less well-known than their famous relatives Barolo and Barbaresco from Piedmont, they are just as exciting and convince with an excellent price-performance ratio.
An insider tip is to be found south of the Po Valley, in the hilly foothills of the Ligurian Apennines: the Oltrepó Pavese. Reason for the wallflower existence: The largest part is sold in barrels - either to the large sparkling wine factories in neighbouring regions or to customers in cities and metropolises such as Milan. The best plants of the Oltrepó Pavese are of excellent quality. Above all, wines made from Barbera, Pinot Nero or Moscato varieties deserve more attention. SUPERIORE.DE
