The Nino Negri 2016 Valtellina Superiore Quadrio is a blend of 90% Nebbiolo and 10% Merlot and represents a selection of some of the estate's best fruit. The wine ages in large casks made from Slovenian oak in the cellars of the massive stone Castello Quadrio that clearly lends its name to this bottle. The wine is lithe and delicate with softly delivered tones of wild berry, rose hip, spice and campfire ash. The wine slides over the palate with a silky, mid-weight texture and calls out for an outdoor seating of warm rosemary focaccia with speck and rucola. An ample 55,000 bottles were made.
