Vigneto Fracia Valtellina Superiore DOCG - Nino Negri

The barrel-aged Vigneto Fracia Valtellina Superiore from the wine-growing region of Lombardy reveals itself in the glass in a dense ruby red. After the first swirl, this red wine reveals a high viscosity, which can be seen in church windows at the edge of the glass. The first nose of the Vigneto Fracia Valtellina Superiore reveals nuances of plums, violets and blackberries. The fruity components of the bouquet are joined by notes of barrel ageing such as blueberry.

The Nino Negri Vigneto Fracia Valtellina Superiore is wonderfully dry. This red wine is never coarse or austere, as you would expect from a premium and single-vineyard wine. This creamy red wine is full-bodied and multi-layered on the palate. On the finish, this youthful wine from the Lombardy wine-growing region impresses with its considerable length. Once again, there are hints of blackberry and violet.
