VIGNA SASSOROSSO Valtellina Superiore DOCG Grumello

Vigna Sassorosso is situated on a rocky prominence detached from the rest of the mountainside and which over the centuries has been completely eroded by the glacier. The few centimetres of soil available has meant that the vines have had to spread their roots into the parent rock giving birth to a wine of great elegance.

SENSORY PROFILE

The distinctive character of the parent rock comes across strongly in the wine beginning with its bright ruby red colour of great transparency tending towards garnet.  

Nose reminiscent of small red fruit such as blackberry, currant, cherry and raspberry with fresh, floral notes of violet and rose and a finish of wild berries. A dense and silky tannic structure on the palate with savory entry and long lasting finish. A wine of great austerity and purity with considerable potential for ageing.

Single-handedly responsible for elevating Valtellina to the world stage,
Nino Negri is one of Italy’s most decorated estates, championing the Chiavennasca
clone of Nebbiolo and representing the height of Sfursat production.
