Rosso di Valtellina DOC is a good introduction to the wines of the Valtellina, the northernmost sub-zone in the Lombardy region. The vineyards are set against the backdrop of the Rhaetian Alps, at altitudes of up to 700 m.a.s.l. Tenuta Scerscé "Nettare" Rosso di Valtellina is 100% Nebbiolo, locally known as Chiavennasca.  A little lighter and less tannic than its counterpart in Piemonte, "Nettare" is fermented and aged in stainless steel and cement tanks.  As the first wine produced after the vintage, it is a "nectar" dedicated to everyone and all occasions.

Valtellina Superiore DOCG are among Lombardy’s most prestigious wines. The vineyards for the Tenuta Scerscé "Essenza" Valtellina Superiore DOCG are fragmented throughout Teglio and Villa di Tirano, planted on rock terraces, some of which were constructed over centuries ago. Often less than one acre in size, the plants are positioned in the traditional "rittochino" method which connect each vineyard through stone stairs. "Essenza" Valtellina Superiore is 100% Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca) fermented in stainless steel and aged in second passed 50 HL oak casks for 24 months. The wine exhibits the "essence" of Valtellina - a great harmony between tannic structure, fruit and freshness.

"Sforzato" (Sfursat) is the most well-known and oldest of the Valtellina wines.  The term Sforzato translates to “strained” and the method in which the grapes are forced through (s)forzatura delle uve to obtain greater concentration. Similar to Amarone, the Nebbiolo grapes are late-harvested in October and left to dry in boxes for two months - usually on the upper floors of the winery.  The cool Alpine winds and the “La Breva” breezes from Lake Como aid in an even drying process. The “appassimento” method concentrates the sugars and results in a wine with more body and alcohol.  The name “Infinito” evokes the potential of this wine and its incredible length, elegance and body.

Cristina Scarpellini Riserva was born from a desire to create a singular wine from the first vineyard Cristina purchased. The name of the sub-zone where this vineyard is located, Valgella, is derived from the word valgel, a dialect expression that refers to the small creeks that run though the zone. This wine is the heart of Cristina and it bears her name because it represents her beginnings, her hard work in the vineyard and her pride in having come this far.  It also sums up the entity of the company through its style and elegance - both inside and outside the bottle. The portrait of Cristina on the label was created by the artist Valentina D'Andrea. Cristina's passion is represented by the hearts and her sense of freedom in winemaking by the flying berries and leaves. It is an artisanal wine in every sense.

Released in December 2020, Flammante was born from the desire to experiment with winemaking in different crus, soils and altitudes. The name Flammante (flaming in Italian) reflects the nature Inferno, the hottest sub-zone in Valtellina where the vineyards are grown in terraces on dizzyingly steep slopes and are subjected to torrid heat.  Terraces from the Rhaetian rocks found throughout the region were painstakingly built into stony terraces that line the hillsides.  Flammante is a wine with a fiery character - warm, full and lasting.  

Incanto was born from the desire to experiment with winemaking in different crus, soils and altitudes. It entered the market in December 2020. This wine is produced in the Sassella sub-zone, which takes its name from the Madonna della Sassella shrine. Sassella is a reference to stones, to the lined dry stone walls embedded in the mother rock: "sasso", in fact, means "stone". The name Incanto enchantment expresses the magic of the wine and this particular sub-zone.
