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.

Like all our Riservas, coming from the "historic" areas of Valtellina Superiore Docg, it is one of the wines have made the history of Cantina Nera. Its production practically began parallel to the greater commercial development of Valtellina viticulture, dating back to the 1960s in particular.
Because it is a wine with well-defined characteristics, which differentiate it from Nebbiolo from other production areas (Sassella, Inferno, Valgella). Also produced only in the best vintages and in limited quantities, it is characterized by a mineral trace which then opens the palate to a fresh taste, perfectly balanced in the fusion between softness and "angularity". Let's define it with two adjectives: harmonious and ready to drink.
