Groppello di RevòIGT VIGNETI DELLE DOLOMITI
The name Groppello derives from the Italian word for knot, and the variety is so named because the bunches are very tightly spaced. A tough wine, like the steep vineyards where it grows, it shows lovely balance and concentrated yet almost ethereal flavours of dark berries and spices.
