Made from white Nebbiolo, white vinified Pignola and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, La Contea is our rare white Valtellina wine. Its autochthonous variety is grown exclusively in vine fields in the municipalities of Villa di Tirano and Bianzone.
Ideal served as an aperitif, with first and second courses
The year was characterized by an unusual climatic pattern. Temperatures were significantly lower than average between April and June, with abundant rainfall that made the spring particularly wet, affecting the growth of the vines. The vegetative phase was delayed, with recovery occurring later than usual. However, summer saw a marked change, with temperatures in mid-August reaching very high values (38-39°C), followed by a drop in temperature due to cold winds and heavy rainfall towards the end of the month, which allowed the vines to recover and complete the maturation process. The conditions in September remained warm, favoring an optimal ripening of the grapes until mid-October, with good preservation of their acidity.
Sandy clay, poor in humus and highly permeable. All these factors are favourable for aromas and preservation
