Although ready to drink upon release, it retains excellent \u003cstrong\u003eageing potential\u003c\/strong\u003e for those who wish to let it mature in the cellar.

The winery creates a \u003cstrong\u003eblend of grapes\u003c\/strong\u003e sourced from its own vineyards, all hand-cultivated at altitudes between 350 and 500 metres with a favourable southern exposure. It is a true example of \u003cstrong\u003eheroic alpine viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its name pays tribute to \u003cstrong\u003eCastel Grumello\u003c\/strong\u003e, an ancient twin fortress that was once the fief of the De Piro family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the autumn harvest, the vinification of Nebbiolo involves a prolonged \u003cstrong\u003emaceration in wooden vats\u003c\/strong\u003e lasting over one hundred days. Ageing continues harmoniously between \u003cstrong\u003elarge barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, concrete tanks, and a final resting phase. In vintages characterised by a lighter tannic structure, the winery opts for a shorter period in wood to enhance the wine’s immediacy. This meticulous \u003cstrong\u003eartisan approach\u003c\/strong\u003e ensures a consistently coherent and linear sip.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from the dedication of the Ar.Pe.Pe. family, who have practised \u003cstrong\u003eheroic viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e in Valtellina for over 150 years, this fine red pays tribute to Castel Grumello, the ancient fortress of the De Piro family.
