Nino Negri Description
The schist rock is the result of the transformation of rocks at great depths during the formation of the Alps The schist in the vineyard is blue and very prone to flaking. The wide terracing has allowed the deposit of soil made up mainly of sand, gravel and loam
The grapes are de-stemmed and crushed. Rack and return as per the classic red winemaking process with fermentation at between 25 and 28°C. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is left for at least 12 months in medium sized oak barrels and a small amount in barriques. The wine ages for a further 18 months in the bottle.
