Fruttato Ca' Rizzieri is the result of viticulture considered heroic; the vineyards stand on steeply sloping terraced slopes that make cultivation very difficult. The wine takes its name from the fruit orchard that rises 500 meters above sea level, where the late-harvested grapes are left to dry for 90 days on trellises, thanks in part to the dry, breezy climate.

Valtellina Superiore Inferno DOCG from the Aldo Rainoldi winery is made from the pure grapes of one of the noblest red grape varieties in the entire Italian territory, Nebbiolo. Because of the conformation and location of the land on which the vineyards stand, machinery and mechanical work are almost unusable. The carefully harvested grapes ferment slowly, macerating in temperature-controlled steel tanks, with periodic pumping over and punching down. Following aging, the result is a structured and assertive red wine.
