WHAT THEY SAY
“Today Rainoldi is one of the most popular wineries in Valtellina.
The great success is surely due to quality and experience, two factors that place Rainoldi among the most refined wines in Valtellina. Our aim is to combine qualitative growth with respect for the environment, leading the company to the next generation.
The Rainoldi winery offers the most demanding and enthusiastic wine lovers a vast assortment that includes Inferno, Sassella, Grumello and Sforzato (or Sfursat) red wines.”
WHAT WE SAY
The Rainoldi family wines are crafted from stunningly steep vineyards in Valtellina, in the foothills of the Alps. The dry stone terraces provide great exposition to the ripening rays of the sun as well as protection from the harsher cold winds. The range highlights the versatility of the Chiavennasca grape (the local dialect name for Nebbiolo). The average age of the vines is 60 years old. The Grumello vineyards yield fresh and fruity wines and the iron rich soils of Sasella produce elegant wines with great ageing potential.
WHAT OTHERS SAY
Aldo Rainoldi is one of Valtellina's most decorated producers. From 1999 to 2022, Aldo's skilful winemaking has accumulated 16 Tre Bicchieri awards in total, a remarkable track record. Their two flagship wines that have driven these wins are the Sfursat Fruttaio Ca' Rizzieri and the Valtellina Superiore Inferno Riserva, with the Ca' Rizzieri in particular being one of the benchmark wines of the appellation.
