Grumello is a sub-zone under Valtellina Superiore DOCG, and the vineyards are named after a castle from the 1300s, that is located between the cities of Sondrio and Montagna in the Valtellina valley.
In addition to the main grape, Chiavennasca, the wine also uses the Rossola and Pignola varieties, which gives the red wine its characteristic aroma of almonds. As with all the red wines in Valtellina, it is well-suited to aging.
A classic red wine for spicy dishes, including risotto, the local polenta taragna, sciatt, stews and local cheeses.
