Valtellina

Valtellina is an Italian wine appellation located in the Lombardy region, known primarily for its red wines made from the Nebbiolo grape, locally referred to as Chiavennasca. The appellation is characterized by steep, terraced vineyards along the Adda River, benefiting from a continental climate with significant temperature variations. Valtellina is divided into several sub-zones, with Valtellina Superiore being the most prestigious, recognized for its stricter production regulations and higher quality standards. The region has a long viticultural history, with evidence of grape cultivation dating back to Roman times.
