In the heart of the Valtellina area in the Alps, where the sun scorches steep stone terraces and every vine is tended by hand, a memorable red emerges - bold, pure, unique.

Introducing Nera Vini's Inferno "Efesto": a wine that channels the ancient power of the Inferno subzone of the Valtellina Superiore DOCG with the elegance only Nebbiolo can deliver.

Inferno is named as it is for a reason: Its vineyards are the steepest and warmest in the Valtellina, where sunbaked rock and alpine air conspire to create wines of depth and distinction. Efesto - named after the God of fire and craftmanship- is a tribute to this extreme terroir and the passionate hands that shape it.

With over 80 years of history and a legacy of excellence, the Nera Winery continues to honor its mountain roots through innovation and quality. Efesto is their signature Inferno - an alpine masterpiece in every glass.

Efesto is a deep garnet color with luminous ruby reflections.

On the nose, intense and layered aromas intertwine with notes of wild cherry, dried rose petals, licorice, leather ans crushed stone.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied but firm, with vibrant acidity, refined tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish.

Bold yet balanced, Efesto is a true expression of Nebbiolo from extreme terrain.

Pair it with aged cheeses, braised meats, venison, mushroom risottos, truffle dishes, and game.
