I Vitari is an artisanal mountain estate in Valtellina, where winemaker Davide Bettini carries out heroic viticulture on ancient hand-built dry-stone terraces (muretti). Farming Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca) at high elevations with southern exposure, I Vitari produces wines of striking mineral clarity, soaring aromatic complexity, and high-altitude elegance.

Valtellina Superiore 2021 is I Vitari's quintessential expression of DOCG mountain Nebbiolo. Sourced from hand-tended terraced parcels at over 500 meters altitude, this 2021 harvest delivered incredible phenolic ripeness balanced by crisp alpine night temperatures.

Tasting Profile: Luminous ruby red. Complex aromatics of sour cherry, dried rose hip, crushed granite, iron filings, and wild alpine herbs. Medium-bodied and silky on the palate, offering bright acidity, fine-grained mountain tannins, and a long, savory mineral trajectory.

Decant 30 minutes before serving at 16–18°C. Excellent with roasted duck, buckwheat pizzoccheri della Valtellina, or aged Bitto cheese.

I Vitari, Valtellina

A defiant voice in Valtellina, I Vitari reimagines alpine Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca) through an uncompromisingly modern lens. Rejecting DOC/DOCG conventions, they craft vibrant, low-intervention wines from steep granite terraces—never producing traditional Sforzato. Their architectural manifesto mirrors this philosophy: a revolutionary underground cantina in Ponchiera, buried beneath vineyards with a panoramic terrace celebrating Alpine terroir through both wine and landscape.

Oenologist Giuseppe Gorelli (renowned for his elegant Sangiovese) brings precision to their Chiavennasca—translucent, mineral, and defiantly drinkable. More than a winery, I Vitari is an immersive dialogue between radical winemaking and Alpine grandeur.
