I am a young wine producer in Valtellina and I am more and more convinced that viticulture is an important opportunity. Valtellina is a land of millenary viticulture, with a unique terroir and an extraordinary ampelographic heritage. Nebbiolo, the main grape variety of the area, is a wine of great quality and potential, which is enjoying more and more success on international markets. In this context, young producers have a key role to play. In fact, we can bring new ideas and new technologies to improve the production and quality of wines. In addition, we can help promote Valtellina as a wine and tourism destination.
Challenges
Of course, viticulture in Valtellina is not without its challenges. The climate is complex and changeable, and the growing conditions are difficult. In addition, the industry is characterized by strong fragmentation, with many small companies facing high production costs. However, the opportunities are many. Valtellina is a land rich in history and culture, and offers an ideal setting for the production of high quality wines. In addition, the wine sector is growing strongly, and market demands are increasing.
A message from a young winemaker
To young people who want to pursue a career in the wine industry, I say: don't be afraid to get involved. Valtellina is a land that offers great opportunities, and young people can make a difference.
