Special features: The period in which the wine was taken to the mountains was not by chance the autumn, that is, shortly before the mountain hut was closed to face the long winter. Thus the wine "wintered" in particular climatic conditions and could then be found again in the spring, when the hut was reopened and returned to Val Belviso.

Special features: the Nebbiolo “Chiavennasca” grapes come from the “Sassella” area of Valtellina Superiore Docg. We are at the gates of Sondrio, in the municipalities of Castione Andevenno and the provincial capital itself, as well as some small "fractions" located at an altitude ranging between 400 and 500 meters above sea level. The vineyards of this area benefit more, compared to those of the other areas, from the positive influence of the "breva", the typical wind coming from Lake Como, dry and temperate, which acts as a "thermoregulator" not only for the Sassella but also for the rest of the vineyard area.

Special features: the "coppelle" are closely linked to Caven, the name of our company and of the hamlet of the town of Teglio, where they were found - in the vineyards owned by Caven Wines - several such etchings. However, this Valtellina Superiore Docg Sassella "sinks" its roots in the past, as it is obtained from vines over 60 years old and partly from recently planted vineyards, coming from a clonal selection of Nebbiolo "Chiavennasca" carried out by the Fojanini Foundation.

Special features: the Nebbiolo “Chiavennasca” grapes come from the “Inferno” area of Valtellina Superiore Docg. The name says it all…. we are in the smallest area of the denomination, just over 50 hectares where the slopes of the Valtellina vineyard are close to 75%, therefore the exposure of the dry-stone walls to the sun obviously has a greater effect, creating truly "infernal" temperatures, in particular during the summer season.

Special features: "Tirso" is the invented name that we wanted to use for this wine and refers to a ritual stick wrapped in ivy, vine leaves and bunches of grapes. According to mythology, the faithful of Dionysus (also called Bacchus), the Greek god of vines, wine and mystical delirium, exultantly agitated him at parties where a heated atmosphere reigned. This Grumello is part of the classic line called "Wines of the Dei”...one of the divine “nectars” produced on the steep terraces of Valtellina.

Special features: for the production of this wine Cantina Nera uses “Chiavennasca” Nebbiolo grapes from the specific “Grumello” area of Valtellina Superiore Docg. In this case the vineyards are located in the municipalities of Sondrio and Montagna in Valtellina; in the latter town we can also visit Castel Grumello, a fortified fortress dating back to the 13th century, a rare example of a "twin" castle, i.e. two specular buildings joined by a stretch of wall.
