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