Valtellina Wineries
Heroic Viticulture on Alpine Terraces, Among the Best Selected Wineries
Valtellina is one of the most spectacular examples of heroic viticulture in Italy, with terraces supported by dry stone walls climbing the Lombard Alps. This selection gathers the best wineries in the area, where Nebbiolo, known here as Chiavennasca, produces elegant and mineral-rich reds that differ in style from the Piedmontese Nebbiolo, despite sharing the same grape variety. The proposed experiences allow you to closely discover the challenges and allure of mountain viticulture, often still worked by hand due to the extreme slopes of the vineyards, in a landscape alternating between vineyards, forests, and alpine peaks. A perfect experience for those who love the mountains as much as wine and seek a wine tourism destination less frequented than the major denominations of central and southern Italy. Book your experience at the same price as the winery.
