BastiànCuntràri

Two young men, Michele and Patrik, who decided to give up their permanent jobs to follow their love for their land and become vignerons. One could almost say that they "started from nothing", beginning by cultivating the vines and selling the grapes in order to buy the machinery for processing their labels.

Even the choice of the name of their company is not accidental, BastiànCuntràri underlines their extravagant and decidedly unconventional soul. Just think that the vineyards from which their grapes come are located in the Valtellina Superiore appellation areas, in the Sassella, Grumello and Inferno subzones. The grapes, however, are vinified on the opposite side. Their cellar is in fact the only Valtellina cellar located on the Orobic side, in the village of Albosaggia. Built in an early 20th century building, it is divided into three sections: the vinification room, the ageing room and the tasting room created inside a beautiful panoramic terrace from which to admire the terraced slope from an unusual perspective.

Michele and Patrik have decided to pay special attention to nature and sustainability, adopting small strategic measures: they frequently mow the vineyards to avoid using herbicides, they install pheromones to avoid insecticides, and they feed the soil with organic fertilisers. From their passion come two labels, Rosso di Valtellina Doc and Valtellina Superiore Docg, produced from a careful selection of grapes.

Visits and tastings: by appointment.
