GRAPE TAKE FLIGHT

In the heart of Valtellina, the grape harvest turns into a breathtaking spectacle: at Nino Negri Winery, grapes are transported down the valley by helicopter. This is a unique method in Italy, made necessary by the steep, terraced vineyards where heroic viticulture defies gravity. Each cluster of Nebbiolo grapes is carefully handpicked, preserving the tradition and excellence of this prestigious winemaking region. The use of helicopters is not just a logistical choice but a symbol of dedication to an extraordinary land. It represents a perfect balance between innovation and respect for Valtellina’s rich winemaking heritage.
