Valtellina is a marvelous wine growing zone on the Italian, Swiss border, along the eastern Alps. Here in the Lombardy region there is an immense history as being the crossroads of Europe. The region runs east-west following the Adda river which spills out into Lake Como. There are 5 subzones that comprise all 2100 hectares of the region, which are marked by steep terraces, held by millennia-old stone walls. The high altitude allows for a cooler climate Nebbiolo, locally known as Chiavennasca. Here you find wines of perfume, delicate fruit and softer tannin than In Piedmont.
The Triacca estate, established in 1897 (formerly a Dominican monastery) has vineyards in 3 of the 5 subzones: Valgella, Tirano and Sasella. Now in the 5th generation, the Triacca family continues to experiment with innovative processes – such as contour farming, while using respectful and sustainable vineyard practices. The wines are reflective of the tradition of the area as well as the winery touch.
Wine Description
Vintage notes:
2021:
The 2021 harvest in Valtellina brought genuine emotion, with a bright summer and fresh September days gently caressing the grapes, preserving their elegance. The Nebbiolo grapes, embraced by ancient stone terraces and breath of the Alps, gave life to a Rosso di Valtellina of rare finesse – fresh and vibrant, with notes of small red berries and a delicate floral touch. It is a wine which tells the story of the mountains, the patience of its people, and the poetry of the Valtellina land.
