I Vitari stands at the pinnacle of heroic viticulture in Lombardia's Valtellina. Helmed by Davide Bettini, the domain crafts small-batch Nebbiolo from ancient stone terraces in Grumello. Through organic farming, hand harvesting in small hampers, spontaneous fermentation, and neutral oak aging, I Vitari creates wines of world-class finesse and longevity.

Valtellina Superiore "Grumello Vigna I Vitari" 2021 is the estate's flagship single-vineyard bottling, sourced from their oldest, most prized old-vine parcel inside Grumello. The 2021 vintage yielded a wine of supreme depth, mineral intensity, and aromatic nuance.

Tasting Profile: Deep ruby garnet hue. Complex, layered aromatics of dark red cherry, dried hibiscus, blood orange, graphite, and wild mountain thyme. Richly textured yet weightless on the palate, offering focused red berry depth, silky fine tannins, and a persistent saline mineral finish.

Decant 45 minutes before serving at 16–18°C. A grand alpine Nebbiolo ideal with roasted game, braised beef short ribs, or aged Bitto cheeses.

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.
