The typeface is ‘Futura Bold’.
4. Concise definition of the geographical area:
The production area of ‘Mela di Valtellina’ comprises the following municipalities of the Province of Sondrio: Albosaggia, Andalo Valtellino, Ardenno, Berbenno di Valtellina, Bianzone, Buglio in Monte, Caiolo, Castello dell’Acqua, Castione Andevenno, Cedrasco, Cercino, Chiavenna, Chiuro, Cino, Civo, Colorina, Cosio Valtellino, Dazio, Delebio, Dubino, Faedo Valtellino, Forcola, Fusine, Gordona, Grosio, Grosotto, Lovero, Mantello, Mazzo di Valtellina, Menarola, Mese, Mello, Montagna in Valtellina, Morbegno, Novate Mezzola, Piateda, Piantedo, Piuro, Poggiridenti, Ponte in Valtellina, Postalesio, Prata Camportaccio, Rogolo, Samolaco, San Giacomo Filippo, Sernio, Sondalo, Sondrio, Spriana, Talamona, Teglio, Tirano, Torre di Santa Maria, Tovo di Sant’Agata, Traona, Tresivio, Verceia, Vervio, Villa di Chiavenna and Villa di Tirano.
5. Link with the geographical area:
5.1. Specificity of the geographical area:
What makes the area in which ‘Mela di Valtellina’ is grown special is the favourable exposure of the Valtelline Valley. The valley runs east to west and is protected to the north by the Rhaetian Alps and to the south by the Orobian Pre-Alps. It therefore enjoys a very mild climate and is ventilated by the Foehn, a hot, dry wind that causes temperatures to soar and atmospheric humidity to plummet. The valley climbs from 200 m to 900 m above sea level, meaning that orchards are well exposed to light and well ventilated. The orchards are mainly located in rugged, permeable alluvial cones where there is virtually no water stagnation and soils are subacidic or acidic.
5.2. Specificity of the product:
Organoleptic analysis has shown the characteristics shared by the three varieties of ‘Mela di Valtellina’, i.e. firm, compact, crunchy and aromatic flesh. In particular,
|
— |
the flesh of the Gala variety is fairly compact and very juicy with no mealiness. The flavour is sweet, with little acidity and no bitterness and a medium intense aroma, |
|
— |
Golden Delicious exhibits medium firmness, crispiness and juiciness, with no mealinesss. The flavour is sweet and the aroma intense, |
|
— |
Red Delicious has an intense aroma with notes of honey, jasmine and apricot. The flesh is very firm, crunchy and juicy. The aroma is of medium intensity. |
Another characteristic is the very intense colour of the fruit and its very attractive elongated shape, characteristics that are intensified by the amount of sunlight received as a result of the valley’s exposure described in point 4.
5.3. Causal link between the geographical area and the quality or characteristics of the product (for PDO) or a specific quality, the reputation or other characteristic of the product (for PGI):
The reputation of ‘Mela di Valtellina’ goes back to the period after the Second World War and has grown over the years, thanks to the efforts of the various agricultural cooperatives that, in cooperation with university institutes specialising in apple-growing, have consolidated apple-growing in the Valtelline Valley. Already in 1968 the ‘Second National Conference on Mountain Fruit Cultivation’ took place in Ponte in Valtellina, sponsored by the Società Orticola Italiana (Italian Horticultural Society), followed in 1983 by the ‘Conference on Varietal Selection and the Improvement of Mountain Fruit Cultivation’.
Cultivation of the apple tree is based on a number of traditional, consolidated practices. These practices are now used in commercial apple growing, which, as it has grown over the years, has become one of the cornerstones of the valley’s economy, since there is a wide range of related activities, such as mechanisation, irrigation works, the supply of technical equipment, marketing services, packaging, transport, etc. The reputation of apple-growing in the Valtelline Valley has also attracted big investments, one example being the irrigation system covering 2 000 ha managed by the Consorzio Sponda Soliva. Created in the 1970s, it was financed by loans from the EAGGF.
The growing popularity of the fruit with consumers over the years is due to the qualities of the production area. The fact that the valley runs east to west, the only Alpine fruit-growing valley to do so, increases the area’s exposure to sunlight, a factor that contributes to giving the fruit’s epicarp the characteristics described in point 3.2. The orthography of the area, which permits excellent exposure to sunlight, together with a big difference between day-time and night-time temperatures, loose soils with no water stagnation and a balanced rainfall pattern which means that the epicarp of the fruit is alternately soaked and dried out, provide the most favourable conditions for ripening the apples, giving them firm, crunchy flesh and a more elongated, slightly ribbed shape.
The three varieties covered by the geographical indication are the pick of Valtelline apple production. It is these three varieties, Golden Delicious, Red Delicious and Gala, that have gradually proven to be consumers’ and growers’ favourites, since it is these, more than any other, that reflect the characteristics of the territory, including those shaped by human factors.
The specific character of the area and the skill of growers, who have retained over the years cultivation techniques that respect and protect the valleys and mountains, and the desire of growers since the 1980s to inform consumers about the quality of their apples, stressing their origin in the Valtelline Valley, by means of explicit indications on packaging, have helped give the product a wide consumer base, both in Italy and abroad. This is confirmed by the fact that Mela di Valtellina is sold through supermarkets and specialised outlets, where it is considered to be a top-of-the-range product. The average producer price per kilogram increased from 85 lire for Golden Delicious and 80 lire for the Red variety in 1968 to 105 lire and 110 lire respectively in 1974. By 1979, only a few years later, prices had tripled, reaching 330 lire per kilogram for Golden Delicious and 420 lire per kilogram for Red Delicious. Over the ten years following 1987, average prices per kilogram were 680 lire and 830 lire respectively. Since 1996, prices have shown positive growth and by 2006 were 0,31 euro per kilogram for Golden Delicious and 0,37 euro per kilogram for Red Delicious and Gala. On average, the prices given above for the three varieties were at least 10 % higher than the average national price for the same variety.
