Pietro Selva

In 2010 I founded the company in the municipality of Castione Andevenno, in the province of Sondrio in northern Lombardy in a valley called Valtellina. In the Vendolo hamlet, I have a cellar where I vinify, refine and bottle the wines I produce with the grapes I grow in 7 vineyards located in different production areas at an altitude ranging from 410 to 520 meters above sea level. The vineyards have been managed organically since 2017 and the harvest, given the difficulties of processing, is obviously done by hand. The ampelographic composition is 90% Chiavennasca (or Nebbiolo) and 10% Rossola and Pignola. The vinification of all wines (red and rosé) takes place with indigenous yeasts, therefore spontaneous fermentation, without the use of oenological products. From 2020 all wines are produced without added sulphites. The wines are aged in wood (mainly in barriques) for 1 to 3 years.
