Alpi Retiche Bianco Nino Negri

This wine from Cantina Nino Negri is made from white Nebbiolo grapes: it originates from an alpine environment, on soils that give the wine a certain minerality; the vineyards are located on the sunny slopes of Valtellina at about 350-600 metres above sea level: this allows for slow ripening and, above all, more delicate aromas. The harvest takes place between September and October: the Nebbiolo grapes are vinified in white, i.e. with immediate separation of the skins. This is followed by fermentation in steel at a controlled temperature of 18°C, then racking and resting on the fine lees for several months. The final stage of ageing also takes place in steel, avoiding contact with oxygen.
