The grapes for Carluccio "Carlo" Negri, named after the winery's pioneer, come from vineyards in the DOC and DOCG areas of Valtellina on the slopes of the Rhaetian Alps along the right bank of the River Adda. The region's world-famous sfursat is produced by the natural drying of the grapes, favoured by the cool, dry winds from the mountains. In the "fruttaio", the fruit shed, they lose almost 30% of their weight during this process. The result is a unique Nebbiolo: rich and intense, with the typical mineral and fresh character of Alpine wines.

Medium ruby red colour. Concentrated, complex bouquet with notes of ripe berries, cyclamen and spices such as black pepper and cinnamon. Dry on the palate, with beautiful dark primary fruit and firm, tart tannins when young. Full-bodied, persistent, with a long finish and a subtle hint of pepper, cloves and liquorice. Its fresh acidity is also harmonious, which will make it one of the best wines of the appellation, vibrant and exciting, especially after a few more years of ageing. SUPERIORE.DE
