Valtellina Superiore Inferno DOCG 'Efesto' 2021 (750 ml.) Pietro Nera
The Valtellina Superiore Inferno DOCG “Efesto” 2021 by Pietro Nera is made from Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca) grapes, grown on the steep, sunny terraces of the renowned Inferno subzone. The 2021 vintage, marked by balanced climate and slow ripening, produced elegant, intense, and long-lived wines. Traditional vinification with oak barrel aging enhances aromatic finesse: the nose shows ripe red fruits, spicy and mineral notes, while the palate is full, enveloping, with velvety tannins and long persistence. Perfect with game, roasts, braised dishes, pizzoccheri, and aged cheeses, it delivers an authentic, vigorous sip, symbol of Valtellina tradition.

Pietro Nera
Among the terraced vineyards of Valtellina, where the work of man has been intertwined for centuries with the strength of the mountains, the story of Casa Vinicola Pietro Nera was born. Founded in 1952, the winery is today one of the most representative realities of the Valtellina territory and continues to interpret with consistency and passion the soul of Alpine Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca). The legacy left by Pietro Nera has been carried forward with determination by his children, who have combined respect for tradition with innovation while preserving a strong bond with a land unique in the world.
Production focuses on wines with denomination of origin, in particular the Valtellina Superiore DOCG in its prestigious subzones – Inferno, Grumello, Sassella, Valgella – each expressing different nuances of a grape variety capable of producing elegant, long-lived wines with strong character. The flagship is the Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG, obtained through the appassimento technique, which gives the wine complexity and aromatic depth. Every bottle signed Pietro Nera preserves the essence of heroic viticulture, marked by steep slopes, artisanal care, and daily dedication.
The winery’s style is recognizable for its finesse, balanced structure, and authenticity in expressing the Valtellina identity. The wines, appreciated in Italy and abroad, are designed for convivial moments, refined pairings, and to be discovered slowly, sip after sip.
Choosing Casa Vinicola Pietro Nera means choosing the elegance of a tradition that never ceases to renew itself. A quality journey that today can also be experienced through selected online wine shops such as Vino45, a benchmark for those seeking the best of the Italian wine scene.
