TASTE Upon tasting it enters with a subtle and very delicate body, characterized by a refreshing, juicy, fragrant and slightly savory sip, with a soft tannin that makes the drink round and smooth.

NOTES The name Groppello derives from the word groppo, that is knot from the local dialect. In fact, the bunch of this native grape is very tight and compact, with small grains and a thin skin. It is a delicate grape, with low acidity, which asks to be vinified with delicacy and attention in order to safeguard the characteristic freshness, the aromas dominated by red fruit and with a note of black pepper to make them more fascinating.
