Valtellina Superiore Docg Le Tense Nino Negri

The Valtellina Superiore DOCG Le Tense Nino Negri is a red wine produced in the Valtellina region, located in Lombardy, northern Italy. This area is characterized by mountainous slopes and terraces overlooking the Adda River, with an altitude ranging from 200 to 700 meters above sea level. The climate is influenced by the proximity of the Alps and the cool winds descending from the mountains, creating optimal conditions for grape cultivation. The vineyards of Valtellina Superiore are situated on steep terraces, known as "grape pergolas," which allow the vines to receive good sun exposure and benefit from excellent ventilation. The main grapes used for the production of this wine are Nebbiolo, locally known as Chiavennasca, which gives the wine structure, complexity, and notes of red fruit and spices. The production process of Valtellina Superiore Le Tense Nino Negri begins with the manual harvesting of the grapes, followed by crushing and fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Subsequently, the wine is aged in wooden barrels of various sizes for a period of at least 24 months, giving the wine elegance, smoothness, and aromatic complexity. The result is a red wine of great structure and personality, with an intense ruby color and garnet reflections, a complex and enveloping aroma, with notes of berries, spices, and undergrowth. On the palate, it is elegant, with soft tannins and a pleasant freshness, making it perfect to accompany meat dishes, aged cheeses, and typical Valtellina cuisine. Pairings: The Valtellina Superiore DOCG Le Tense Nino Negri is a red wine of great structure and complexity, which pairs perfectly with rich and flavorful dishes. An ideal first pairing could be with a dish of Valtellina-style pizzoccheri, a typical dish from the same production area as the wine. The homemade pasta, local cheeses, and rustic flavors of vegetables and butter blend perfectly with the wine's structure. Another interesting pairing could be with braised beef. The slowly cooked meat in red wine, with its sweet and savory notes, pairs splendidly with the complexity of Valtellina Superiore. As for cheeses, Valtellina Superiore goes well with aged cheeses like Bitto or spicy Gorgonzola. The contrast between the strong flavor of the cheese and the complexity of the wine creates a perfect balance. Finally, for a slightly bolder pairing, it might be interesting to try Valtellina Superiore with a sushi dish. The strong flavor of raw fish and rice could create an interesting contrast with the wine's structure. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place Alcohol content: 13.5% Vintage: 2020 Denomination: Valtellina Superiore DOCG.
