Valtellina
Valtellina is a valley in the Lombardy region of northern Italy, bordering Switzerland.
The cultivation of vines in Valtellina has very ancient origins, which date back to the first inhabitants of the Valley in pre-Roman times, who already began to terrace the steep slopes of the Rhaetian Alps; the vineyards, facing south, are in an optimal area for the cultivation of the vine.
Valtellina is the largest terraced mountain area in Italy, Nebbiolo is grown from 350 to 800 m asl. and the soils are mainly sandy.
