Nino Negri

Ethereal and fine bouquet with hints of wilted violets and spices, delicate nuances of strawberries and almond blossoms. Deep, warm and rich on the palate, the tannins wonderfully harmonious, an elegant, very pleasant bitter note in the long final. SUPERIORE.DE

This Nebbiolo comes from the vineyards of the Inferno (hell). The mountains owe their name to the steep slopes and the scorching summer temperatures that prevail there. Pure bouquet of red fruits, underlined by a hint of tobacco, hints of mineral notes on the palate, plus fine tannins, perfectly integrated into an appealing acidity framework. A very authentic, classic and straightforward wine. SUPERIORE.DE

The grapes for Inferno come from the Calvario, Sopragironi, Sottogironi and Ca Rossa subzones. They grow there in southern exposure on terraced slopes on poor, sandy soils. Rich, bright carmine red. Interesting aroma spectrum of spices, wild berries, liquorice and mint. Very harmonious on the palate, the tannin very well integrated and the Nebbiolo fruit and acid component present until the respectable finish. 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

"Medium-bright, warm red; delicate, leafy fruit notes, inviting; fine approach, salty, length, clear tannin." Merum

"Fresh nose with cinnamon and plum, a good concentrated palate of red berry fruit and ripe tannins; great expression." Decanter

Sassella Le Tense is a silky and polished wine with wild berries, blueberries, bitter almond, crushed rock, ash and mild spice. It has all those ethereal and finely balanced flavors of a Nebbiolo-based Valtellina wine, but they are presented in a slightly more direct and approachable way. The firm tannins are wrapped in lovely fruit, and the medium-length finish fades out harmoniously. A beautiful wine from the far north of Lombardy. SUPERIORE.DE

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 strawberries and almond blossom. Deep and rich on the palate, yet fresh and harmonious, with an elegant, very pleasant bitter note on the long final and a fresh acidity paired with minerality. For us, one of the greatest white wines in Italy! 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

Garnet red, rich and complex, smelling of wild berries and cyclamen. Powerful, rich taste with a lot of fruit, fresh acidity and great elegance. A wine like silk, full of feeling and round. SUPERIORE.DE

Outstanding terroir, terrific quality of the grapes and masterful cellar work made it one of the most highly prized wines! Bewitching aromas of candied cherry fruit with notes of spices and tobacco. On the palate dense, very concentrated with fabulous fruit sweetness, discreet acid structure and fresh tannins. A hedonistic and at the same time very contemporary dream of finesse and elegance that lingers with long and incredibly deep flavours. SUPERIORE.DE

120 years after the foundation of the winery, the re-release of a classic with special equipment (incl. bound booklet on the history) comes on the market. This high-quality Nebbiolo comes from approx. 50-year-old vines in the Sassorosso and Sassina sites, where the soils are very poor and stony. Clear ruby red, rich, powerful and complex on the palate with a wonderful elegance. The finesse and precision of the Nebbiolo grape captivates from the first sip, and with increasing aeration this rare drop reveals its complexity and structure. A jubilee 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
