red grape

Grumello

Cool, steep alpine slopes of Valtellina high above Lake Como.

Known as: Nebbiolo Clone, Grumello

Grumello is, in effect, a historical clone of Nebbiolo grown on the impossible slopes of Valtellina, far above Lake Como in the Italian Alps.

It is the signature grape of Valtellina's long-lived reds — floral, red-fruited and built on a spine of tannin and alpine acidity.

For the buyer, Grumello delivers grip and ageing potential, mountain-style, at prices lower than Barolo's.
