Grignolino, Arditi - 2021

Item # 43236 1.5L

Grignolino is a local Piedmontese grape variety that is very small in size, meaning that the fruit to skin ratio is quite small, giving good depth and structure in spite of the ruby clear color you'll find visually. This is excellent to have on hand for any occasion be it a sipping wine or a wine to pair with pizza.

Staff Pick Notes

It isn't as well known in the states as its bigger siblings, Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, and Barbera. But hey, with summer coming on, here is a light red chiller that you can add to your repertoire.

Grignolino

The Grignolino grape derives its name from grignole, meaning "pips." This small-berried red variety makes some truly intriguing wines, because the grapes produce very little juice in proportion to the amount of pips and skins. These elements, combined in these proportions, yield deliciously earthy wines that are pale in color (often resembling Beaujolais), and unexpectedly tannic.
