Founded by Sandro Fay in the 1970s, the company has become one of the most renowned wineries in the region, specializing in the production of fine wines made from Nebbiolo grapes. The history of the Sandro Fay winery began when Sandro, a young viticulture enthusiast, decided to follow in his father's footsteps in wine production. Valtellina, a mountainous valley located in the central Alps, offers a unique terroir, with steep, sun-exposed slopes and granite soils, ideal for cultivating Nebbiolo grapes, locally known as Chiavennasca. Sandro Fay began planting Nebbiolo vines on the mountain slopes, utilizing traditional terraces and the pergola architecture typical of Valtellina. This cultivation technique allows the vines to receive the right amount of sun and protect themselves from temperature fluctuations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sandro Fay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052120392029,"sku":"faycarteria","price":34.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/3615\/3769\/files\/IMG_1723.jpg?v=1689238988"},{"product_id":"rosso-alpi-retiche-2024-barbacan","title":"Rosso Alpi Retiche 2024","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRosso Alpi Retiche by Barbacan is a red wine produced in Valtellina from Chiavennasca grapes.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarbacàn works in San Giacomo di Teglio, in one of the highest areas of Valtellina, where the vineyards are arranged on terraces supported by dry-stone walls. Work in the vineyard is manual, given the steep conformation of the slopes. Besides the fact that I can no longer do without the Instagram and TikTok of the \"Barba brothers\", which I highly recommend you follow, Valtellina truly shines here. Their Chiavennasca, which as far as I'm concerned you can call Nebbiolo but don't let them hear you, is blended with indigenous local grapes found only in Valtellina, such as Rossola, Rossolino Rosa, Pignola, Brugnola and Negrera. Viticulture is heroic and organic, while in the cellar the processes are traditional and absolutely non-invasive. When drinking a Barbacan wine, don't forget where it comes from: in Valtellina there is rock, there are granite and schist, there are minerals, just like in a glass of their Rosso.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"wine_table\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: solid 2px #FFF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35%; background: #e1e1e1;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDenomination:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65%; background: #f1f1f1;\"\u003eAlpi Retiche Rosso IGT\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: solid 2px #FFF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35%; background: #e1e1e1;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape varieties:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65%; background: #f1f1f1;\"\u003eChiavennasca and other local grapes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: solid 2px #FFF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35%; background: #e1e1e1;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol content:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65%; background: #f1f1f1;\"\u003e12.5%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: solid 2px #FFF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35%; background: #e1e1e1;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyards:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65%; background: #f1f1f1;\"\u003eSan Giacomo di Teglio, Valtellina, on terraced vineyards with sandy soils and the presence of rock\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: solid 2px #FFF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35%; background: #e1e1e1;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65%; background: #f1f1f1;\"\u003egrapes are destemmed and then infused for two weeks.
