BALGERA
The Valtellina DOC is a magnificent series of terraced vineyards on the southern slope of the Rhaetian Alps: it’s a charming and unique landscape, which stretches for
40 kilometers at an altitude of 750 meters above sea level. The center of this prestigious viticulture is Chiuro where Balgera is situated. Peter Balgera founded
Balgera and began trading his Valtellina wines to Switzerland. He was succeeded by his son Leo Balgera, who continued the production and export. His son, Gianfranco,
built a new cellar evolving and improving the techniques of wine production, aging and bottling.
Today Paolo Balgera continues the business as winemaker. Paolo never wavered from tradition. Starting from the historical vineyards located in the areas of Sassella,
Inferno, Grumello and Valgella, the ancient "know how” to make wine continues to this day. Adapting to the changing needs of the market a constant improvement of the
techniques of vinification is of primary importance to Balgera but the sense of tradition will always remain. With great attention to quality, Paolo Balgera offers
wines of an exceptional elegance and great structure. The Balgera wines possess exquisite aromatics of fragrance produced by the Chiavennasca varietal.
