The Crotti represent a strongly rooted tradition in Chiavenna and in the homonymous valley, in the province of Sondrio. These are natural cellars, obtained from the accumulation of boulders coming from ancient landslides, crossed by sources of fresh air: the “Sorel”.

This air current – which maintains a temperature of 8 ° C – is able to naturally air-condition the rooms, being cool in summer and warm in winter. Thanks to these characteristics, Crotti have become the ideal places to store bresaola and cured meats, cheeses and wine, refined and enriched by the specific characteristics of these environments.
