• Galotta was obtained in 1981 in Pully, Switzerland, by Agroscope Changins as part of a breeding program focused on improving color and structure in red wines. It is a cross between Ancellotta and Gamay.

• Galotta produces wines with a deep, intense color, aromas of blackberries and spices, and a firm tannic structure. It is often used in blends to add depth and color but can also be vinified on its own, sometimes with barrel aging to enhance complexity.

• Still relatively rare, Galotta is mostly planted in French-speaking Switzerland, particularly in the Vaud and Valais regions, where it is valued for its quality potential and resistance to rot. (https://sui-wineimports.com/grape-varieties/?age-verified=74a22e31a4)
