THE COMPANY

Cristina Scarpellini, passionate about Nebbiolo and forward-thinking in her business vision, created Tenuta Scerscé in 2008. After a law degree in Milan and two years in Paris for his dissertation, he abandoned the idea of a law career when his life met the Valtellina. A vertical land that repays hard work only those who have a spirit of sacrifice and work with heart and passion. Thus began a path of research based on a deep knowledge of the land and daily attention to the vines, which in this alpine area demand a lot of work because of the large slopes. In the natural amphitheater of the Valtellina Rhaetian Alps, the absolute star is the “Nebbiolo delle Alpi” whose biotype is called Chiavennasca. A noble, demanding vine that needs a special environmental and climatic situation to which the Rhaetian slopes lend themselves perfectly. Guyot-grown plants enjoy a lot of light, amounting to 1900 hours of irradiation per year! A perfect conjunction of past and present, of handed-down craftsmanship and contemporary methods, while respecting tradition. All of this is at the basis of Scerscé, a young company that in just a few years has been able to establish itself for the quality level of its wines but above all for its strong connection with the terroir of Valtellina.

Valtellina

In Valtellina, on the sunny south-facing slopes along the north bank of the Adda River, the Nebbiolo grape, here called Chiavennasca, produces robust, vigorous reds. The heart of the region, Valtellina Superiore, includes the subzones Grumello, Inferno, Sassella and Valgella. Dry Sfursat is made from partially dried grapes. 850 hectares of vineyards, 2,500 kilometers of dry stone walls, the Rhaetian side of Valtellina is the largest terraced area in Italy, rich in biodiversity and variability from a geological, morphological, climatic and environmental point of view.
