Rossola (Rossola Nera) is a native grape variety of Valtellina.
It accounts for approximately 5% of the blend used in the production of classic Valtellina wines. This variety is characterised by imparting a pale colour, good acidity and a fruity aroma to the wine.
The clonal selection project developed in Valtellina by the Fojanini Foundation has yielded the following result: "Rossola Nera clone 29: high vigour, medium and consistent yield, good fertility, whilst basal bud fertility is high".
