The Nino Negri Sfursat di Valtellina 5 Stelle 2004 is an icon among Italian dry passito red wines. Produced from dried Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca) grapes, it presents an intense garnet color. The nose is complex and enveloping, with hints of fruit in spirits, spices, and tobacco. On the palate, it is warm, full-bodied, and persistent, with a robust structure and velvety tannins. Perfect with important meats and aged cheeses, it is a meditation wine that expresses the excellence of Valtellina.
