Mammolo is a red Italian wine grape that is planted primarily in Tuscany.
While its use has been diminishing, Mammolo was historically included in the blended Sangiovese-based wines of Chianti where it contributed a distinctive violet or mammole aroma.
[1] In addition to small plantings in the Chianti zone, Mammolo can be found in the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano region of Tuscany and in scattered vineyards throughout Central Italy.
[2] Mammolo is believed to be a parent vine of the Ligurian/Tuscan vine Pollera nera[3] and Colombana nera.
[4] Mammolo is known under a variety of synonyms throughout Central Italy.
