Valtellina Superiore Sassella DOCG Alisio 2021 von Pietro Nera wird aus Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca)-Trauben gewonnen, die auf den typischen Terrassen der Valtellina mit idealer Ausrichtung und natürlicher Belüftung reifen. Der Jahrgang 2021 überzeugt durch ein ideales Gleichgewicht von Frische, Struktur und Eleganz, mit Aromen reifer roter Früchte, Veilchen sowie feinen würzigen und balsamischen Nuancen. Die traditionelle Vinifikation und der Ausbau im Holzfass verleihen Tiefe und seidige Tannine, getragen von angenehmer Mineralität. Passt hervorragend zu Braten von rotem Fleisch, Federwild und gereiftem Käse, ein authentischer Ausdruck des einzigartigen Sassella-Terroirs.

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.
Address:
Via Stelvio, 40/A, 23030 Chiuro (SO), Italy
Color: In English the wine shows a bright, transparent ruby red with slight garnet highlights on the rim.
Nose: The bouquet reveals fresh red berries such as raspberry and redcurrant, floral hints of violet and wild rose, with subtle spicy and mineral nuances.
Taste: On the palate it is elegant and precise, tannins are present yet silky, supported by lively freshness and a balanced structure with long mineral persistence.
