Producer Information

La Spia" is born among the terraced vineyards of Valtellina, a name linked to the homonymous rocky ridge located in the Sassella DOCG sub-area, a sighting and control post dating back to to the Grisons domination. In 1962 the property passed to the Rigamonti family who destined it to vineyard cultivation, Nebbiolo variety, Chiavennasca biotype. Today the spy works 4.5 hectares scattered throughout the Valtellina area reaching the production of over 25,000 bottles per year. A young and dynamic winery, which combines the passion and care of the past with technique and innovation. Climate and soil, two basic elements to make Valtellina a territory suited to viticulture. Its alpine conformation and the orientation of the valley favor an ideal climate. The soil of the vineyards with a neutral to sub-acid pH, the predominantly sandy texture and the shallow depth that often subjects the vines to water stress, give a good richness to the musts which translates into a high finesse and elegance of the wines. On these slopes, the courtyards arranged in the terraces remain an ancient and functional system that has made the current Valtellinese viticulture possible, one of the largest terraced mountain areas in Europe.
