- Roviello Bianco
White
- Roviello is the oldest and most accurate name for this variety, though locals commonly refer to it as Grecomusc’ (with “musc'” derived from “moscio,” meaning flaccid, due to the appearance of the berries).
- This grape poses significant challenges in the cellar; its thick skins and sparse pulp result in high levels of polyphenols and solids, making vinification complex.

Roviello is an aromatic variety, producing wines that evoke the characteristics of Muscat or Gewürztraminer. These wines are marked by robust aromas and flavors of flint, almond, grass, and apple, interwoven with hints of aromatic spices. The final profile, however, can vary significantly depending on the winemaking techniques employed.
