Portrait of Marco Fromm
i. Biography
Marco Fromm came up inside the family winery in Malans, Graubünden, Switzerland, where continuity and daily stewardship shape the work. In 2015, he stepped into leadership there as managing director, and he now runs the house with Pinot Noir and single-vineyard Pinot Noir at the center of his focus.
The Work Today
Today, he runs the family winery and serves as its manager. The role is rooted in the same Malans address that defined the beginning of his leadership, with the family name still tied to the business. The work centers on Pinot Noir, and especially on single-vineyard Pinot Noir, which gives his craft a precise and clearly named focus. That emphasis tells you what kind of winemaking matters here: detail, site, and a grape that rewards patience. Rather than a broad statement of style, the focus stays specific. Pinot Noir is the thread, and single-vineyard bottlings are where the thread becomes most distinct.
Career
Signature
Marco's signature dishes include Pinot Noir Michel, Pinot Noir Schöpfi, Pinot Noir Selvenen, Pinot Noir Village, and Fromm's Gin.
Acclaim
Pinot Noir, especially in single-vineyard form, is the specialty that defines his work. In a family winery, that kind of concentration can carry as much weight as any trophy: it gives the house a recognizable voice and keeps the line of inheritance readable in the glass.
