Celebrated for its remarkable elegance and longevity, this Riserva showcases vibrant red fruit notes of wild cherry and pomegranate layered with crushed herbs, dried roses, warm spices, and a signature Alpine mineral streak. Aged thoughtfully in large chestnut and oak casks followed by extended bottle resting, it pairs fine-grained, refined tannins with bright acidity, delivering a beautifully balanced, aromatic red wine that truly honors the heroic viticulture of the Grumello subzone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePOINTS WORTH NOTING :\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrumello sits geographically between Inferno and Sassella, and is often nicknamed \"Valtellina for beginners\" by the trade — not because the wines are simple, but because they're the most immediately open and gentle on the palate of the three main crus.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIsabella Pelizzatti Perego describes Grumello and Sassella as \"brother and sister\" — related in origin but with distinctly different personalities, Grumello being rounder and more generous, Sassella leaner and more taut.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoil: Grumello has more topsoil above the underlying granite than neighbouring Sassella or Inferno — locally described as franco sabbioso, a sandy loam with fragmented rock and naturally high acidity.
