i. Biography
The Path
In wine, continuity is a working method, and Valentino Sciotti’s roles at Fantini Group and Vini Fantini place that method at the center of the operation. As president of Fantini Group and owner and patron at Vini Fantini, he sits where brand, land, and long-range planning meet. The emphasis is less on image than on endurance: keeping a name legible over time, and treating commitment as part of the product.
The Work Today
The current work is split between leadership and patronage, with Valentino Sciotti continuing in both roles. That dual structure keeps Fantini Group and Vini Fantini tied together under a single sense of direction, with continuity doing as much work as any campaign. He has also said, "It was a great year for us, especially because we had Matteo, an Abruzzese who produced wonderful flashes. He lit up the Giro d’Italia with an epic feat." The line points to a way of measuring value through collective performance and moments that exceed routine. On another occasion, he added, "I think definitely stronger than last year." The phrasing is plain and comparative, the sort of assessment that treats progress as accumulation rather than noise. In wine terms, it reads as a steady read on momentum: not a declaration of arrival, but a statement of form.
Signature
Valentino's signature dishes include Three Dreamers Montepulciano Appassimento, Edizione Collection, and Vanitá Sangiovese. Each name carries a different shade of his world: ambition, refinement, and character, presented not as isolated expressions but as part of a coherent identity. Together, they read like the tasting room equivalent of a signature style—recognizable, composed, and anchored in the language of craft.
