History: it is one of the most "historic" wines of Cantina Nera, whose production practically began almost parallel to the major commercial development of Valtellina viticulture, dating back to the 1960s in particular. The name of this wine derives from via Signorie, located in the municipality of Chiuro (SO), the town where Cantina Nera is based.

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.

Why buy it: because it is the distinctive product of Cantina Nera, a particular selection of Nebbiolo "Chiavennasca" grapes from the Valgella area, from a small "cru" vineyard, where the climatic and soil characteristics give rise to a balanced, savory and persistent wine. Ready to “excite” you immediately …. as well as to be carefully "kept" over the years, having a long aging potential and promising to amaze you even more after having given it the right "time" for evolution.
