Description
Cuvée Carlo Negri by Nino Negri is a high quality sparkling wine from Valtellina, produced in a limited edition as a tribute to the son of the founder, one of the major Italian winemakers.
It is obtained from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo grapes (locally called Chiavennasca), harvested separately according to the time of ripening. The vinification also takes place separately in new French oak barrels, after which the cuvée is started to fermentation according to the Metodo Classico, then remaining for 15 months on its lees.
It has a bright golden yellow colour, with a lively foam and a very fine, compact and persistent perlage. The nose reveals a distinct scent of bread crust, enriched with notes of apple, berries and green bay leaf. On the palate it is full and dry, very elegant, with a persistent finish on notes of plum and almond.
Ideal as an aperitif, it goes very well with light appetizers and delicate courses based on meat or fish.
