Azienda Agricola Folini is located in the Chiuro area of The Valtellina, one of Italy’s smallest and least known wine producing regions. The wine region stretches for 15 miles on either side of the town of Sondrio in a valley carved from hard granite by the glaciers that descended from the Alps during the last Ice Age. Today, the Adda River winds its way across the valley floor. This is one of the most spectacular vineyard landscapes in the world. Perched on steep slopes, tiny terraces, many less than 65 acres in size, cling to the south facing slopes of the mountainside at altitudes of 750 feet to 2,500 feet above sea level. The total area of cultivation is approximately 2,100 acres.
