I Vitari Valtellina Superiore "Grumello Vigna I Vitari" 2021 (750ml)

The Bettini Family's Heroic Viticulture in Valtellina

I Vitari tells the story of heroic winemaking in Valtellina's alpine landscape. In the Grumello subzone, at 510 meters above sea level in the Ponchiera hamlet, Davide Bettini tends a small 5-hectare estate planted entirely to Chiavennasca (Nebbiolo) vines trained in the traditional Guyot system. Under the watchful care of Davide's father, who manages the vineyards using integrated agriculture with minimal intervention, these old vines draw deeply from the mountain terroir while Davide himself oversees every decision at harvest and in the cellar.

Tasting Profile: Volcanic Stone & Alpine Purity

Though the estate is young, the wines already reveal a profound connection to the land. The old Nebbiolo vines absorb the essence of Valtellina's unique geology, delivering wines that echo with the mineral character of volcanic and limestone stone in every glass—a pure expression of alpine terroir shaped by generations of mountain viticulture.

For collectors seeking authentic, terroir-driven Nebbiolo from Italy's most dramatic wine region.
