Balgera is one of the oldest wineries in Valtellina. The history of the winery is the history of the Balgera family. Historical records attest that the family’s ancestors produced and traded wine as early as 1885, while Umberto I of Savoy reigned over the newborn Italy.
Valtellina is a land of ancient enological history and the Balgera winery has had its roots there for over a century. The vineyards, 6 hectares of property to which are added selected external contributors, are located between the Valtellina terraces of the municipality of Teglio (San Giacomo and Tresenda).
The work in the vineyard, where they grow up Nebbiolo represents the starting point for the quality of Balgera wines and makes use of two elements that the long family winemaking tradition has taught to make the most of: nature and time.
The wines mature slowly, for years and, in some cases, decades, in wood and glass: the historic places, characterized by ancient stone vaults, integrate with modern ones, where technology and innovation are at the service of quality.

What an amazing tasting. Great wines and so much knowledge and passion. If you are looking a winery where they release the wines as they are meant to be drunk, this is the place. Learning about the vintage and vineyard variation was fascinating

Lovely place! We came spontaneously to Balgera’s wine property and Paolo welcomed us very kindly. He offered several really good wines to us and explained a lot about the wines, the Valtellina region and the family business which they operate already in the 5th generation. 100% recommended!

Azienda vinicola a conduzione familiare. La cantina si trova presso un antico palazzo nobiliare in centro a Chiuro. Matteo, figlio dell’attuale proprietario e direttore commerciale dell’azienda ci ha saputi guidare molto bene alla scoperta dei metodi di produzione dei loro vini e nella degustazione degli stessi. Consiglio una visita se siete in zona.
EN translation: Family-run winery. The winery is located in an ancient noble palace in the center of Chiuro. Matteo, son of the current owner and sales manager of the company, was able to guide us very well in discovering the production methods of their wines and in tasting them. I recommend a visit if you are in the area.
