Special features: It is a wine obtained through the unusual white vinification of Nebbiolo and Rossola (another native grape variety of Valtellina), subsequently blended with Chardonnay and Incrocio Manzoni. These last two vines are grown by us in the municipality of Teglio at about 500 meters above sea level.

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: it is obtained after a careful selection of pomace from the vinification of Nebbiolo "Chiavennasca" grapes destined for the production of "Sforzato di Valtellina Docg". It therefore takes its name from the homonymous "method" (the "forcing" in the drying of the grapes) used to produce the finest wine in our area.
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: It is therefore a "Riserva" , like all our wines with this particular mention, is produced exclusively in the best years, that is to say when the quality of the grapes and the pre-harvest climatic conditions are of an exceptional level. As a "Riserva" it is offered in limited quantities and, by provision of the production specification, it must be aged for at least 36 months before being marketed.

Special features: It is a wine that demonstrates the great versatility of Nebbiolo "Chiavennasca", as it is the result of an accurate "blend" between Nebbiolo itself and Cabernet Sauvignon, one of the best known and most cultivated vines in the world.

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.

Special features: "Alisio", the invented name that we wanted to use for this wine, is the epithet of the Greek god of wine. This Sassella is part of the classic line called "Vini degli Dei".... one of the divine "nectars" produced on the steep terraces of Valtellina.
