Rosso Di Valtellina

This wine is generally light- to medium-bodied with fresh acidity and moderate tannins, emphasizing elegance and drinkability. Rosso di Valtellina is known for its fruit-forward character and lighter structure, often approachable earlier than more powerful Nebbiolo expressions while still showing the grape’s classic structure and complexity.

Winemaking process

The wine is produced by Casa Vinicola Fratelli Bettini, a historic family winery founded in 1881 in the Valtellina area. The estate cultivates vineyards on steep alpine terraces and produces traditional Nebbiolo-based wines that reflect the region’s mountain climate and terroir.

Tasting notes

It typically shows aromas and flavors of red cherry, dried flowers, and earthy notes, sometimes with hints of spice, tar, or mineral character. On the palate, the wine is dry and balanced with fresh acidity, grainy tannins, and a clean finish that highlights red fruit and subtle savory complexity.

Food pairings

Bettini Rosso di Valtellina pairs well with beef, lamb, poultry, and game dishes. Its acidity and tannic structure also complement cured meats and aged cheeses typical of northern Italian cuisine.
