WINE DESCRIPTION
Nino Negri Quadrio Valtellina Superiore is a premium red wine produced by Nino Negri, a renowned winery located in the Valtellina Superiore appellation of Lombardy, Italy. The wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the steep terraced vineyards of the region, which are characterized by their high altitude and mineral-rich soils. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of the best grapes, followed by a long maceration and aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and structure. The resulting wine is a full-bodied and elegant expression of Nebbiolo, with notes of red fruit, spices, and a hint of minerality. It is a perfect match for hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Nino Negri Quadrio Valtellina Superiore is a wonderful Italian red with a beautiful complexity of aromas that combine to create an amazing and unforgettable experience.Aromas of ripe dark cherry, dried fig, and hints of chocolate are backed by an earthy, tobacco-laced minerality. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and structured with a powerful tannic backbone that beautifully frames and lifts the dark fruit flavors. The finish is lengthy and tantalizing with a lingering hint of spice. Enjoy this wine with roasted meats and game dishes.

ORIGINS
Winery: Nino Negri
Region: Lombardy
Lombardy is a region in the north of Italy, located in the foothills of the Alps. With a long history of winemaking, Lombardy is one of the most prolific wine regions in Italy, producing a wide range of styles from sparkling to still wines.
The history of winemaking in Lombardy dates back to the Roman Empire, when the region was known as Cisalpine Gaul. During this period, the Romans planted vineyards and developed winemaking techniques that are still used today. In the Middle Ages, Lombardy was an important center of winemaking, with many monasteries producing wine for religious ceremonies. In the 19th century, Lombardy was one of the first regions in Italy to embrace modern winemaking techniques, such as the use of oak barrels and the introduction of new grape varieties.CUSTOMER RATING
