This impressive estate was originally built in the 1500s as a Dominican monastery
and later served as the summer residence of the De Gatti family, after whom the
estate is named. The Triacca family
acquired the “La Gatta” estate in 1969, turning it into a favourite destination for
many discerning Valtellina wine connoisseurs.
The old monastery is surrounded by 13 hectares of vigorous vines, benefiting from recent modern viticultural techniques, which have become a model for grape growing
in the Valtellina area and provides an excellent example of rationalised viticulture on steep mountain slopes.
