Grignolino is a relatively rare grape from the Monferrato region near Asti. The name comes from the local word grignole, which means many seeds/pips. It is the abundance of pips that give the wine its tannic structure, however it is typcially a light coloured wine with red fruits, roses and refreshing acidity. Gaudio's Grignolino sees just a few hours of skin contact, making the wine more like a big rosato. It's perfect in any weather and can take a chill in the summer months.
