Nino Negri Vigneto Fracia 2019

In the heart of Valtellina, nestled in the Valgella subzone, lies a vineyard that birthed Nino Negri winery. A late harvest vintage, 2011, echoes the same characteristics as 2013. during not remarkable like 2001 or 2007, it is undeniably more dimensional than its younger counterpart, 2015. \nTasted from magnum, this wine presents a ruby red hue, with a beautifully deep and consistent profile. The nose is recognized by plum, tamarind, woody notes, chocolate, and leather, all harmoniously intertwined. The taste is solid, with a concrete tactile quality that gives way to a fruity and savory mouthfeel. The tannins are seductive, whereas the tail is slender and refined. A highly recommended wine, I wholeheartedly endorse.

A wine that requires gentle handling to fully express its potential. Upon release, a graceful and textured character emerges. The nose is initially closed, but as the wine opens, a concentrated and alluring nose unfolds. On the palate, the wine is juicy and textured, with a lengthy and comforting finish.

Smooth and elegant wine with a rich, polished texture. The nose is influenced by by nuances of bold fruit, importantly plum and blackberry, with a delicate hint of spice. The texture is well-balanced, with a gentle and classy structure that showcases the wine's complexity. The tannins are well-integrated, adding richness and profile to the wine. The trail is long and satisfying, with a soft dash of oak and forest fruitiness.
