GRIGNOLINO D’ASTI DOC

An ancient native grape of Piedmont, Grignolino has found its home among the hills between Asti and Casale Monferrato.


Its name in the local dialect refers to the “grignole”, which are “grape seeds”, found in great numbers within the grape berry. It is a wine with a young and bright character, light ruby red in color, characterized by a marked freshness and the typical presence of tannins with a pleasantly bitter aftertaste.
