GRIGNOLINO DEL MONFERRATO CASALESE DOC

The odd sounding name of this wine might come from the dialect word grignola (i.e. seed); because of the low yield of its grape, Grignolino has always been a quite expensive wine, for the aristocratich. Today, in the young version, is a wine with carefree drinkability . Versatile, it makes excellent food-wine pairings possible thanks also to good freshness and soft tannins, wide range aromas, flowers, fruits and spices. Grignolino can be also an excellent summer time wine: chilling it, and serving it alongside summer lunch.

In the glass it has a light ruby red colour with hints of geranium red. Its fine morel fragrance reminds us of black pepper; on the palate it is pleasantly tannic and perfectly balanced with a lingering after-taste.

Grignolino is best served with appetizers, sausages, fish soup, fried foods, white meat, medium-aged cheese.
