Grignolino

Nizza, Italy 

A lifted, powerful runner sprinting its way to your table side. Two old friends – one an oenologist, the other a lawyer – turned winemakers, looking after grapes in the Nizza Monferrato region of Piedmont, Italy! FUN FACT! Grignolino vines were prized as far back as the thirteenth century, a rare regional jewel that is such a treat to share. Made from two small plots of organic vines, on calcareous-sandy soils. Macerated for 15 days before eight months of aging in Tava amphoras (amphoras that are cooked at extremely high temperatures, tightening the porosity to that of an oak barrel without the oak taste, cool!). Aromatic harmonies, a fruit explosion of candied cranberry, viscous pomegranate, sour cherry, bitter botanicals, sumac & finishes with a bit of Maldon melting on your tongue. Pair with salumi sandos!
