Tenuta Scerscé today extends over six hectares at an altitude between 400 and 720 meters above sea level with an excellent exposure to the South – South-East, from Teglio in the Valgella area, up to Tirano. In line with common practice, due to excessive fragmentation of Valtellina’s territory, the winery’s development, started right in the muncipality of Teglio, has been gradual and determined by a thorough search for the right plots of land in the most wine-specialized areas. In the all red-berried Nebbiolo Chiavennasca vineyards, completely turfed with sandy-loam soil, we generally have low water retention and high permeability. In the vineyards, the plants are rigorously positioned in the traditional “rittochino” and the terraces communicate with each other through stone stairs. This requires exclusively manual maintenance that in a year can reach up to 1,500 hour of work per hectare. All this contributes to preserving biodiversity, a prerogative that testifies to Scerscé’s great commitment to the care of its territory. Two new projects now include the Sassella and Inferno areas.
