Mattia Lauterio works the cellar and commercial side of Castorani in Alanno, with the estate framing both the defining winemaking role and the 2026 commercial coordinator title.

The Climb
The winemaking role at Castorani is the current center of Mattia Lauterio’s work.
Today
At the Alanno estate, the winemaking position is anchored in a clear reading of old vines. Mattia Lauterio calls them "a fundamental part of the identity of this wine." The practical case is straightforward: "Vines that are over 50 years old naturally produce lower yields, but the fruit is much more concentrated and expressive." That logic extends below ground as well. "Their deep root systems allow them to explore different layers of the soil, bringing greater complexity and a stronger sense of place."
