The wine business of the NERA family began in 1940 with Guido Nera, which succeeded, in the late ’50s, his son Pietro, who, with stubbornness and pride, unified several hectares of vineyards, now owned by the Azienda Agricola CAVEN of the brothers Stefano and Simone Nera founded in 1982.
The Pietro Nera Wine House is one of the most important and prestigious wineries of the Valtellina , with a long tradition in the enhancement and promotion of the territory, in the cultivation of vineyards and in the production of high quality with unique characteristics, which have been awarded certificates of merit in the various national and international competitions.
The many successes achieved have prompted the company and the Nera family to look positively to the future, in particular thanks to the new representative structure that aims to spread the wine culture by hosting refresher courses, business meetings and company events. which is able to accommodate “food and wine” tourists.
In 2009, at the wineries located in Chiuro directly on the Stelvio highway, a Wine Bar and a new company sales point was opened, including Corner Valtellina, where it is possible to taste and learn about the great Black wines accompanied by typical Valtellina products, such as the DOP Bitto and Casera cheeses, the Bresaola di Valtellina IGP, the pizzoccheri and all the other flavors of this rich land.
