Where the path ends, this story begins. In 2016, Danilo Drocco made a decision bold enough to commemorate the pioneering work of Carlo Negri. The grandson of the founder, who bottled a Sfursat for the first time in 1956, putting Valtellina on the map of great wine. 60 years later, NINO NEGRI 3000 was born: 3,000 magnum bottles, two iconic wines, an experiment between heaven and earth. The Chiavennasca grapes for this Sforzato were left to dry for 100 days in the cool, clear Alpine air – the traditional method that gives strength and concentration without sacrificing the Alpine freshness. The wine then rested for three years in large oak barrels at Castello Quadrio before the magnums began their journey at the end of 2020: up to the rock-cut mountain cellars of Heaven 3000 in Bormio and Ristoro Carosello 3000 in Livigno. Five years at 3,000 metres, where time slows down – less oxygen, lower temperatures, a maturing process that reveals nuances that remain hidden in the valley.

Deep garnet red in the glass with orange reflections of maturity. Aromas of dried plums, pickled cherries and dark baking spices interweave with graphite, undergrowth and a hint of pine resin. Powerful on the palate, but carried by velvety tannins – fruit cake, cloves, liquorice and the warming presence of 15.50 percent by volume, which never imposes itself. A wine that combines the opulence of Amarone with the elegance of Nebbiolo – born in the valley, perfected at the summit. SUPERIORE.DE
