Enoteca Marino Chiavenna

Marino Del Curto’s expertise transforms this historic wine shop into a temple of Valtellina gastronomy, where the philosophy of aging and curing takes center stage. The Bresaola della Valtellina is sliced to a translucent thinness, offering a velvety texture and a concentrated aroma of cured beef and alpine herbs. It is frequently paired with Bitto and Casera cheeses, which provide a robust, nutty counterpoint to the lean meat. The tasting experience is elevated by the presence of Sforzato di Valtellina, a wine produced from Nebbiolo grapes that have been withered to achieve a profound depth of dried fruit and oak. Artisanal techniques extend to the biscottini di Prosto, which possess a crumbly, buttery consistency that melts on the palate. Every element in the enoteca is curated to showcase the cultural heritage of Chiavenna, creating a sensory dialogue between the rugged mountain landscape and the refined, time-honored methods of Italian preservation.
