The name \"Inferno\" (Hell) refers to the high temperatures that radiate from the rocks and dry-stone walls during the summer, a climatic condition that allows the Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca) grapes to reach superior sugar and aromatic concentration. La Martellina displays an intense ruby red color with garnet highlights. On the nose, it offers a generous and sun-drenched olfactory profile, where notes of ripe cherry and plum blend with hints of forest floor, licorice, and a light spiciness reminiscent of black pepper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eOn the palate, it is characterized by a bold structure and an enveloping warmth, balanced by the mineral savoriness that is the hallmark of Caven's wines. The tannins are firm and well-defined, providing a decisive character that softens with bottle aging, leading to a velvety mouthfeel and great persistence. La Martellina is a wine that favors bold gastronomic pairings, such as grilled red meats, beef stews, flavorful cheeses, or the classic Valtellina Pizzoccheri. It perfectly represents the grittiest and most passionate side of heroical mountain viticulture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eThe wine Valtellina Sup.

While the family’s primary brand embodies long-standing Valtellina traditions, Caven was established as a dedicated project to elevate the Alpine Nebbiolo (locally called Chiavennasca) through \"heroic\" viticulture and rigorous parcel selection.\u0026nbsp;The name refers to a historic area in Teglio famous for ancient rock carvings, highlighting a deep-rooted connection to the land. Caven’s philosophy moves away from high-volume production to focus on low yields and meticulous care of vineyards located in the DOCG’s most prestigious crus, such as Inferno, Sassella, and Grumello. Here, amidst dizzying slopes and dry-stone walls, the winery expresses a character that is muscular yet remarkably clean.\u0026nbsp;Compared to the classic Pietro Nera line, Caven wines are distinguished by a more complex structure and superior aging potential, the result of careful refinement that softens the natural austerity of the mountain grape. In short, it serves as the family’s \"private reserve\"—a high-quality laboratory where the raw power of the Valtellina rock meets contemporary, international technical elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cantina Caven","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57218383118671,"sku":"1257","price":24.31,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/4261\/2618\/files\/LAMARTELLINA_95820314-7f36-4603-9bf3-800736db9eff.webp?v=1773245724","url":"https:\/\/vinaidelborgo.com\/en-fr\/products\/valtellina-superiore-inferno-la-martellina-docg-caven","provider":"Vinai del Borgo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
