Casa singola a Tresivio SO1816AV – La Baita Case

The cluster sits on the north side of the Valtellina with the Rhaetian Alps above it and the broad Adda valley below. The Adda runs along the valley floor within a few kilometres. This is the central Valtellina wine area, with terraced vineyards on the sunny slope between Sondrio and Tirano; Sassella, Grumello, Inferno and Valgella are the nearby named vineyard zones of Nebbiolo di Valtellina. Sondrio is the nearest town of size and has the main services, railway station and the historic core around Piazza Garibaldi. Tirano is also nearby and is the rail gateway toward the upper valley and Switzerland. The Bernina line begins from Tirano and is UNESCO-listed, though the most dramatic alpine section is farther up the line and does not lie within the immediate surroundings. The nearest ski areas are on the Aprica side and at Chiesa in Valmalenco, both roughly around half an hour to three quarters of an hour by road depending on conditions. The area is known for stone wine terraces, mountain agriculture and Valtellina food traditions such as bresaola and pizzoccheri.
