Mamete Prevostini

The Path

Mamete Prevostini has been the winemaker of Mamete Prevostini since 1988, a tenure that defines the pace and direction of the house. The role has been built through accumulation rather than reset, with each season adding to a method shaped by patience and attention. The result is a career marked by continuity, with the work staying close to its origins while developing with time.

The Work Today

He still holds that post, and his description of Valtellina sets out the basis of the work: “In Valtellina I have found all the necessary ingredients to produce complex, yet uncomplicated wine: the soil, the climate, the sun and the people.” The statement reads as a list, but it also names a method. The aim is balance, not excess; wines that register where they are from and carry that place with clarity.

Signature

Mamete's signature dishes include Sfursat, Valtellina Superiore Sassella, Corte di Cama, La Cruus Inferno Valtellina Superiore DOCG, and Vigna Sassina Grumello. Read together, they map the range of the house: wines associated with slope, stone, light, and the working vocabulary of Valtellina. Each one stands on its own, but all are tied to the same regional frame and to the sensibility Mamete Prevostini has developed through long practice.

In Their Words “In Valtellina I have found all the necessary ingredients to produce complex, yet uncomplicated wine: the soil, the climate, the sun and the people.” “Great wines must be able to speak to people, they should be refined, elegant and represent where they come from.” These lines point to a winemaking style built on clarity. The emphasis is on communication rather than display, and on keeping the wine legible to its place of origin.
