Sant’Andrea Valtellina Superiore DOCG
Nebbiolo
Not every harvest can become a Sant’Andrea.
“Sant’Andrea” is the Bettini family’s grand reserve, produced exclusively in exceptional vintages from grapes grown in a historic vineyard that has been cultivated for over a century. A wine born of patience, careful selection, and respect for nature’s rhythms, it expresses the extraordinary elegance of Nebbiolo from the Alps through depth, harmony, and longevity. According to Bettini, it is the very essence of Valgella.
