5L Valtellina Superiore "Vigneto Fracia" - 1995 - Nino Negri
Nino Negri is the leading winery (in terms of size and profile) in the Valtellina Lombarda in northern Italy, producing wines primarily from Chiavennasca, the local name for Nebbiolo. It is particularly known for its Sfursat or Sforzato ("tense" or "forced") a style of dry red wine made from air-dried grapes. Founded in 1897, the company owns 31 hectares (76.6 acres) of vineyards in the Valtellina Superiore DOCG zones of Sassella, Grumello, Inferno and Valgella. As is common in the region, many of the vineyards are on rocky, steeply terraced slopes that preclude any mechanization. The surface soils are sandy and can be very shallow, so the vine roots are often forced to fissure in the rocks below. The winery is located in the town of Chiuro in the 15th-century Castello Quadrio. Beneath the building are extensive cellars housing thousands of barrels. The wines are primarily aged in French oak barriques, although American oak barrels also feature. All Nino Negri wines are aged for at least two years prior to release.
