History of "Grignolino" Wine
At the end of the 19 th century the Grignolino was considered one of the best Piedmont's grape, loved and appreciated by the most. In addition, King Umberto I preferred it to any other wine on his table. It is a delicate grape which has a low yields, this is why at the beginning of the 20 th century his production started to decrease. Grignolino makes wine with very fruity aromas, often with floral notes and hints of citrus or spice. The wines tend to take on shades of orange, rather than purple. Grignolino is produced as rosé as often as red wine, both of which are usually best enjoyed in their youth. Their bright acidity makes a good complement to foods with high fat content.
