Castel Chiuro Nino Negri Valtellina

Castel Chiuro is an authentic Nebbiolo from the Alps. Originating on the sunny terraces of the Valtellina, it undergoes a long period of ageing in the wine cellars of the ancient castle, the headquarters of Nino Negri. Oak barrels, which allow the natural dosing of small amounts of oxygen, lead to interaction between its colour and tannins. In this way, its taste mellows and it develops notes of ripe red fruit. The very long period of ageing in the bottle, on the other hand, results in a reduction that develops spicy and floral aromas. More than ten years in oak barrels and in the bottle show how Nebbiolo from the mountains can age for a long period, like only a few grape varieties in the world.

Garnet red in colour with medium-intensity ruby red reflections. On the nose, its long period of ageing enhances aromas of damp rock, balsamic spices and woodland undergrowth. Salty and mineral notes on the palate with light, taut tannins that create a lingering and persistent aftertaste.
