Valtellina
Although vines have been planted on these slopes since at least the 5th century, Valtellina’s most prophetic grape, Nebbiolo (locally called Chiavennasca), was not planted until the early 1800’s. At 46 degrees latitude, this is the northern most area of Italy where the Nebbiolo grape will ripen and the only region outside of Piemonte to produce large quantities.
