Galotta

An artificial cross of Ancellotta and Gamay, Galotta was created in 1981 at the Agroscope Research Centre in Pully (Switzerland) to obtain a variety that was similar to Gamay, with a richer colour. Named after its ancestors, Galotta offers good resistance to grey mould. Grown uniquely in Switzerland, its wines are colourful with strong tannins, and often used for blends.
