PROFILE
Groppello, most classic red grape of the Brescia area of Lake Garda, yields wines of straightforward, uncompromised elegance. Even its appearance, a ruby, near-cherry red, conveys its refined, never pushy character, qualities underscored by its smooth, supple fragrances of cherry and raspberry flanked by subtle spice notes of cinnamon. The palate is lively, laden with delicious, fresh-picked fruit, which infuses the progression through to a tangy, vivacious finish. Serving Groppello at 15oC will heighten its qualities, as will pairing it with a wide range of dishes, including fish.
