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.

One of the last "creature", in chronological order, of Cantina Nera. This wine has a history and a fond memory, very particular for the Nera brothers: it was in fact brought by their father Piero to his hut located in Val Belviso (hence the name), at 1380 m. above sea level, in the heart of the Orobie Valtellinesi Alps. The hut falls within the municipal area of Teglio, on the slope facing the Rhaetian Alps and, in particular, the Valgella area, whose grapes are used for its production.
Because it is a frank wine, respectful of the noble Nebbiolo "Chiavennasca" vine, from which it derives its origin, characterized by excellent versatility for food pairings. Excellent in accompaniment to polenta with sausages or mushrooms, as well as with brown trout that we can find in natural alpine lakes, over 2,000 meters.
