History: like all our Riservas, coming from the "historic" areas of Valtellina Superiore Docg, it is one of the wines have made the history of Cantina Nera. Its production practically began parallel to the greater commercial development of Valtellina viticulture, dating back to the 1960s in particular.

Why buy it: because it is a wine with well-defined characteristics, which differentiate it from Nebbiolo from other production areas (Sassella, Inferno, Valgella). Also produced only in the best vintages and in limited quantities, it is characterized by a mineral trace which then opens the palate to a fresh taste, perfectly balanced in the fusion between softness and "angularity". Let's define it with two adjectives: harmonious and ready to drink.
