Description
The Grumello cru has a little more topsoil above the granite than neighbouring vineyards in Sassella and Inferno and tends to produce wines that are a little less angular, a little softer and fuller. Here, fifty year old vines sit between 350 to 500 metres above sea level and the wine spends three months on skins in tini, before being pressed off to old chestnut botti to rest for a year. The result is complex, generous and subtle wine that offers great pleasure in its youth.
The Perego family has been growing grapes on the granite terraces of Valtellina since 1860. They work only with Nebbiolo, locally called Chiavennasca. The vines are so far north into the alps they are practically in Switzerland and the resulting fruit is intensely mineral.
Everything is labour intensively done by hand, vineyards are steel and wines are left to settle until ready. No rushing or corner cutting here.
