In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the gravel-dominated soils are added.

Vinification of the Valtellina Superiore Grumello Tell by Faccinelli Luca

The basis for the well-balanced Valtellina Superiore Grumello Tell from Italy is grapes from the Nebbiolo, Pignola and Rossignola varieties.

There, they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally drawn off.
