Lorenzo Colombo embodies the new wave of winemakers who are slowly returning to the land, giving new lifeblood to Valtellina wine scene. Not so long ago his job had very little to do with harvest and fermentations, he was in fact an electrician. Historic producers seem to appreciate the "new wave" of young people who choose to abandon their daily routine to dedicate themselves full time to viticulture in this area as beautiful as difficult to manage. The goal is to create a movement that, starting from vines, represents a driving force for both economy and care of the Valtellina area.

Colombo Sormani

Lorenzo Colombo and Andrea Sormani—both from Lecco—exchanged their everyday careers for the steep terraces of Valtellina. In 2019, they planted their flag among ancient Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca) vines across Valtellina. Farmed organically on rugged, hand-tilled slopes, their grapes ferment with native yeasts, untouched by corrections, and their wines emerge unfiltered, unclarified, brimming with character. From that first modest garage project to today’s 1.5 hectares, every bottle speaks of the quiet bravery of two friends who chose land over convenience.
