Grumello

Grumello is a subregion in the Valtellina Superiore appellation, located on the steep terraces northeast of Sondrio in Lombardy. The wines are made from Nebbiolo (locally called Chiavennasca), and though they have a similar character, they tend to have different features based on the geographical subzone.

Grumello wines have a ruby red color and well-integrated tannins. The aroma is reminiscent of red fruit, violets, and spices, often with hints of leather and tobacco. These wines are rich and savory but usually well-balanced and approachable. They typically have good aging potential.

Grumello wines pair with game or red meat, but they can also pair well with various main courses, charcuterie, local specialties, and aged cheese. The region takes its name after Grumello castle.
