Ludovico Mottolini, with his young energy and passion, founded the Riter winery and carries on, with care and dedication, the family vision, year after year.
At his side, his father Emilio and a small group of friends united by a great passion for wine and Valtellina. Each bunch is lovingly cultivated and harvested by hand, preserving the quality and purity of the grapes. In the cellar, the commitment is aimed at creating excellent wines capable of leaving an indelible mark, which reflect the personality of this unique territory.
Riter is the historical nickname of the Mottolini family of Poggiridenti Alto. We are a family of peasant origins, but our determination and deep passion for our beloved Valtellina have led us to develop activities in various sectors, from Bresaola, to food and wine. We are realizing our project to return to the roots, preserving the importance of environmental sustainability both in the vineyard and in the cellar.
Since 2018 we have been in organic conversion and since 2021 we are officially Certified. We carefully cultivate our vineyards, which are located in the beautiful DOCG Inferno, in the municipality of Poggiridenti. We are proud to be part of this controlled and guaranteed designation of origin, because it allows us to best express the unique characteristics of Chiavennasca, the Nebbiolo grape variety that we love so much.
Our winery, which has recently undergone a conservative renovation and also respects tradition, is set like a precious gem on the Rhaetian side, in the heart of the historic center of Poggiridenti, a small town that stretches out into the sun from the first to the last light of day. A few steps from the village, the terraced vineyards, supported by dry stone walls, offer a magnificent spectacle that is revealed step by step, through paths and steep stairs.
We share spaces, curiosities, passion and cellar with our friends Luisa, Fabio and Dario. We are surrounded by the wonderful vineyards of Valtellina, which inspire us and put us to the test every day. Our three small farms have different cultivation and winemaking methods, but we share the same goal: to offer a wine that reflects nature, that is produced in harmony with it and that respects its fundamental principles. We want to highlight the peculiarities of Chiavennasca, its unique nuances and our commitment to bringing them out. We are pleased to invite you to meet us directly in the winery!
