LE STRIE
(Winery in Valtellina)

5 (4 Reviews)
Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €25.00
Le Strie winery, established in 2003 by Stefano, Paolo, Luciana, and Marisa, is a small yet deeply committed family-run winery located in the heart of the Valtellina valley. Despite none of us being originally from this region—Paolo and Marisa from Venice, Luciana from Marche, and Stefano from Rome—we all share a profound passion for winemaking and have embraced the rich winemaking traditions of Valtellina. Situated northeast of Milan, in the midst of the Alps and near Lake Como, our vineyards thrive on ancient terraced slopes that have been cultivated for centuries. The soil here is sandy and acidic, filled with stones, which creates the perfect environment for growing Nebbiolo, the primary grape variety of our region. Our journey began in 1993 when Stefano and Paolo, both graduates in agricultural science, met in Sondrio for work. By 1995, we had started cultivating vines, and in 2002, we made the pivotal decision to produce our own wine, focusing on crafting wines that express the unique terroir of Valtellina. We practice sustainable viticulture, employing the Guyot method, avoiding herbicides, and using integrated pest control. Our grapes are hand-harvested with great care, ensuring that only the best fruit reaches our cellar, where fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. Our commitment to minimal intervention results in wines with low sulfur levels, no clarifications, and only slight filtration before bottling, offering a true taste of Valtellina’s heritage.

5 (1 Review)
L’attività vitivinicola della famiglia NERA ha inizio nel 1940 con Guido Nera al quale è succeduto, alla fine degli anni ‘50, il figlio Pietro che, con caparbietà ed orgoglio, ha accorpato diversi ettari di vigneti, ora di proprietà dell’Azienda Agricola CAVEN dei fratelli Stefano e Simone Nera fondata nel 1982. La Casa Vinicola Pietro Nera è una cantina tra le più importanti e prestigiose della Valtellina, con una lunga tradizione nella valorizzazione e nella promozione del territorio, nella coltivazione dei vigneti e nella produzione di vini di alta qualità con caratteristiche uniche, ai quali sono stati attribuiti attestati di merito nei diversi concorsi nazionali ed internazionali.

Caven Camuna
(Winery in Valtellina)

The CAVEN CAMUNA winery was established in 1982 by the brothers Stefano and Simone Nera. The name derives from the fact that in ancient times a place called Caven, where the wine estate’s premises are situated, was inhabited by a Camunian population, of which archaeological finds of historical value have been uncovered, arousing great interest among researchers and experts on the subject. One of these rock drawings, called “Mother Earth” – the symbol of fertility and the industriousness of this civilization – undoubtedly the most interesting, is preserved in palazzo Besta in Teglio. A path called “The archaeological path of Caven” , which crosses the places where these archaeological finds were discovered, has also been built.
