The Alps, which protect the valley from the cold winds from the
north and the hot, humid winds from the south; the warm breeze that rises from
Lake Como; and the intense mountain sun create an ideal climate for wine
growing on the northern side of Valtellina. The area around the provincial
capital of Sondrio is home to some of the best DOC and DOCG wines in the
region. The area is characterized by its impressive terraced vineyards and is
crossed by the Strada del Vino (Valtellina Wine Road) and Via dei
Terrazzamenti, and many estates offer cellar door tastings of local wines and
products.
Excellent wines and local dishes, magnificent scenery and cellars in unique
settings make for a unique food and wine experience.
