    The crotti are natural cellars formed under the boulders of ancient landslides. Between these boulders blows a current of air at a constant temperature of around 8°C, called "sorel", which makes these environments ideal for wine maturation and cured meats and cheeses.

    They are typical of the alpine areas around Lake Como, Canton Ticino and Valchiavenna. Only in the latter there are a total of about 80, scattered in the various municipalities, usually grouped together to form decidedly suggestive building ensembles.

    Those of Menarola are located at an altitude of about 940 meters.
