Producer : | The La Gatta winery - the Triacca family: In its 500-year history, the former pilgrimage site has seen some owners: the Dominican order, the eponymous noble family De Gatti from Comasco, the winemaker family Mascioni from Puschlav. The Triacca family, who immigrated to the Engadine in the 1950s, have never lost touch with their Italian homeland. It so happens that the traditional wine family also has lands in Tuscany, in the heart of Chianti and Montepulciano. The fourth generation is now managed by Luca and Giovanni Triacca. La Gatta has belonged to the Triacca family since 1969. She turned it into something of a pilgrimage site for wine lovers. A visit is worth seeing. What is new is the wine tasting concept and the opportunity to treat your small appetite to something from local production. The production cellar is located at Villa di Tirano, just 5 km from La Gatta. Under the technical direction of Luca Triacca, 25 people are employed there. |
Region: | The Valtellina is experiencing a real renaissance, but few wine lovers have noticed this so far. The region is climatically extremely favored for high-quality viticulture. The Nebbiolo grape feels at home on the granite floors of the steep terraces. A light wind rushes through the Valtellina almost every day and dries the grapes after wet nights, so the putrefaction is almost a foreign word in this region. The quality level is very high and the notorious * liter qualities * are a thing of the past. Valtellina, much praised since Roman times, is one of the few places outside of Piedmont where the Nebbiolo grape thrives. The Veltlin is the second largest producer of Nebbiolo grapes after Piedmont. |
