The wines generally are low in tannins and acidity and are usually fruity and fragrant, often with hints of almonds.

Enologica Valtelinese
Inferno is one of five viticultural sub-zones specifically identified as producing Valtellina wines of particularly high quality: the other four are Grumello, Sassella, Maroggia and Valgella.
