Vineyard and terroir
The estate’s vineyards lie on Valtellina’s steep mountain slopes, where terraces supported by dry-stone walls have been built over centuries. Together, the walls extend for approximately 2,500 km. The Mediterranean-influenced climate provides suitable growing conditions for Nebbiolo. Valtellina’s terraced landscape is a candidate for UNESCO World Heritage status.
