Essential and fine bouquet with hints of withered violets and spices, delicate nuances of strawberries and almond blossoms. Deep, warm and rich in taste, the tannins wonderfully harmonious, in the long final an elegant, very pleasant bitter tone. SUPERIORE.DE

On the nose the whole complexity of Nebbiolo is expressed: dried flowers, fruit, liquorice and tobacco. The taste is soft as velvet, in which alcohol, tannin and acidity blend together very harmoniously and reverberate attractively. SUPERIORE.DE

The Sassella Le Tense is aged for one year in small oak barrels. Beautiful aromas of candied cherries and spices, complex and flattering on the palate, the tannins firm and enveloped by the fruit. SUPERIORE.DE

Lively garnet red is the Fracia - the second top plant of the house Negri. Its fragrance is intense and animating, with aromas of plums and hints of violets, rose petals and spices. On the palate it is expressive and of fantastic density, warm and spicy with a long and elegant finish. A wine of great overall harmony and with a pronounced terroir character. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2016 Valtellina Superiore Vigneto Fracia is a pretty, mid-weight wine with tons of character. Dried cherry, game, licorice, incense and sweet floral notes give the 2016 striking layers of nuance. Light on its feet and gracious in feel, the 2016 is a terrific choice for drinking now and over the next few years. The 2016 is all class." Vinous

Exceptionally good balance between ripe fruit notes in the fragrance and freshness in the taste. Dense and harmonious, it penetrates the nose while on the palate the fleshy sensations last endlessly. Finesse, bite and terroir. SUPERIORE.DE

Fresh yellow with greenish reflections. Balsamic, elegant, slightly reductive bouquet with hints of apple, pear and spices, delicate nuances of strawberry and almond blossom. Deep and rich on the palate, yet fresh and harmonious, in the long final an elegant, very pleasant bitter note and a fresh acidity paired with minerality. For us one of the greatest white wines of Italy! SUPERIORE.DE

Outstanding terroir, terrific quality of the grapes and masterly cellar technology made it one of the most highly endowed wines! Bewitching aromas of candied cherry fruit with notes of spices and tobacco. On the palate dense, very concentrated with fabulous fruit sweetness, subtle acidity and fresh tannins. A dream of finesse and elegance, which echoes with long and incredibly deep flavours. SUPERIORE.DE

"Lustrous ruby with orange tinges. Deep nose of cherry, cardamom pod and liquorice powder. Plush but not heavy fruit on the palate with dried cherry and cocoa-powder notes and minty dark-chocolate notes. Gripping tannins and succulent acidity and plenty of dense fruit without ever getting heavy. Clearly modernist, but most of all hedonistic. Much more interesting than most Amarones." Jancis Robinson

"A skein of spice unwinds through this rich, full-bodied red, which displays a mouthwatering range of raspberry coulis and fig cake flavors, a streak of graphite-laced mineral and accents of Earl Grey tea and rose hip, defined by sculpted tannins. A lovely, harmonious wine, marrying subtle power and focus to elegance." Wine Spectator

120 years after the foundation of the winery, a new edition of a classic with special equipment (including a bound history booklet) is launched on the market. This high quality Nebbiolo comes from about 50 years old vines in the vineyards Sassorosso and Sassina, where the soils are very barren and stony. Clear ruby red, rich on the palate, powerful and complex with a wonderful elegance. The finesse and precision of the Nebbiolo grape are captivating from the first sip, and with increasing ventilation this rare drop reveals its complexity and structure. An anniversary wine, as it is written in the book! SUPERIORE.DE

"This is a gorgeous and beautifully aged expression of Nebbiolo from the high mountains in the far north of Italy. The 2009 Valtellina Superiore Riserva Castel Chiuro absolutely blossoms in the glass with rose petal, violets, wild blueberry and more tangy forest fruit. The wine shows a long and pleasurable succession of small red berry aromas such as cassis and raspberry. Those polished and elegant primary tones are followed by light brushstrokes of smoke, licorice and tar. This wine is an absolute beauty." Robert Parker
