1881 – that’s the year that Casa Vinicola Fratelli Bettini got started. They are one of the oldest of Valtellina’s wine companies. Today the 5th generation is running the winery while the 6th generation learns the ropes.
The winery is located in San Giacomo in Teglio, and they have 15 hectares of vineyards. Additionally, they source grapes from small vineyard owners with whom they have long relationships.
They produce traditional Valtellini wines, including a Rosso di Valtellina DOC, 4 Valtellina Superiore DOCG, one each from the sub-zones of Sassella, Inferno, Grumello, and Valgella. They also make 2 special Selection Superiore wines, 3 Riservas and a Sforzato and a Sfursat.
