About Marco Ferrari Valtellina Superiore Inferno

In the Valtellina, a narrow Alpine valley in northern Italy, nebbiolo—or chiavennasca, as it is known here—thrives clinging to seemingly impossible terraces. Here, five historic crus of the region are genuine vinous sanctuaries where every metre of vineyard has been painstakingly claimed by hand, stone by stone.

Sassella, Grumello, Inferno, Valgella, and Maroggia are vertical landscapes, slopes that defy gravity, with solar exposures measured to perfection and microclimates that shift with a misstep. Each cru possesses its own character—some more austere, others more aromatic, others more intense—but all share an element that captivates even before uncorking the first bottle. All the vineyards are supported by thousands of kilometres of dry stone walls, a monumental work constructed over centuries. Heroic viticulture in the truest sense.

With these premises, Marco Ferrari emerges as the new name to watch in the area. After working with Frank Balthazar in Cornas and interning with some of the finest classic vintners of the Northern Rhône, such as Gonon, Clape, and Thierry Allemand, Marco acquires a profound knowledge and understanding of what it takes to work in vertical, rocky vineyards where mechanisation is a chimera. He adds to this experience with a subsequent stint at Arpepe, undoubtedly the classic benchmark winery of Valtellina, until he decided in 2021 to launch his own personal project after learning from some of the best.

Thus, he presents us with offerings like Marco Ferrari Valtellina Superiore Inferno. The product of a cru that lives up to its name: narrow terraces, rock walls that in summer resemble scorching griddles, and slopes that necessitate working with hands braced against the stone. An extreme location that, in Ferrari's hands, transforms into mineral poetry.
Marco advocates for sincere and unadulterated vinification. Seventy percent of the wine comes from whole clusters and the remaining 30% from destemmed but uncrushed grapes. Fermentation is spontaneous in steel for 15 days, with two daily punch-downs aimed at precision, not power.

Marco Ferrari Valtellina Superiore Inferno is a wine that encapsulates the very essence of the mountains. Mineral, fresh, elegant, and with that electric tension so characteristic of Alpine nebbiolo. No excesses, no embellishments.
