The Nino Negri winery, founded in 1897, is the largest winery in Valtellina. 

The winery has a modern business organization and 35 hectares of vineyards located in the most prestigious areas: Grumello, Inferno and Fracia; Nino Negri is now synonymous with Valtellina wines in the world. 

The Chiavennasca grapes, a noble strain of Nebbiolo wonderfully set in Valtellina, produce extraordinary wines whose quality has been rewarded and recognized everywhere, especially that of Sfursat 5 Stars, a wine with an important structure and body, a long and persistent scent with few equals. 

With Sfursat you can fully understand what a "meditation wine" is: softness, depth, body, unlimitedly expansive, always suitable, inside and outside the meal.
