CASTEL CHIURO

VALTELLINA SUPERIORE DOCG RISERVA

Castel Chiuro is an authentic Nebbiolo from the Alps. Originating on the sunny terraces of the Valtellina, it undergoes a long period of ageing in the wine cellars of the ancient castle, the headquarters of Nino Negri. 

Oak barrels, which allow the natural dosing of small amounts of oxygen, lead to interaction between its colour and tannins. 

SENSORY PROFILE

Garnet red in colour with medium-intensity ruby red reflections. On the nose, its long period of ageing enhances aromas of damp rock, balsamic spices and woodland undergrowth. Salty and mineral notes on the palate with light, taut tannins that create a lingering and persistent aftertaste.

FOOD PAIRING

Roasted red meat, lamb, goat and game, mature cheeses.
