Nino Negri Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo Mazer 2023

Nino Negri’s Mazèr is a distinctive Valtellina Superiore DOCG made from Nebbiolo, known locally as Chiavennasca, grown on the steep alpine slopes of Lombardy. Its name comes from the local dialect word for “noble,” reflecting the wine’s historic connection to the distinguished wines of Valtellina.

Tasting Notes
Brilliant garnet-red in colour, with ruby highlights, Mazèr offers an expressive bouquet of blackcurrant, rhubarb, tamarind and potpourri, layered with blackberry, blueberry, liquorice and hints of bitter spice. The palate is dry and savoury, with a slender yet substantial feel, velvety tannins and a deep, balanced finish lifted by citrus notes.

Production
The grapes come from historic plots in Chiuro, where south-facing terraces sit 400–450 metres above sea level on sandy clay soils. Hand-harvested in late September, the fruit is partly given a gentle drying before fermentation; the remaining grapes are vinified traditionally and brought into the final blend for added complexity. The wine is aged for 20 months, split between once-used French oak barrels and larger wooden casks.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C, allowing the wine to show its aromatic detail and alpine freshness. It pairs well with roasted meats, game and mature cheeses. A short decant of around 30 minutes can help open the aromas, especially when serving the wine young.

Producer
Founded in 1897, Nino Negri is a long-established producer rooted in Valtellina’s winemaking traditions. The estate is known for expressing the region’s distinctive alpine character through its Nebbiolo-based wines.
