Crivelli – Grignolino d’Asti – 2022

Grignolino is considered as “the whitest of reds and the reddest of whites”, because of its very light red color it is often confused as a rose wine, however it is a wine with good structure and tannins, famous for being matched with fatty fish.
It is particularly good in Monferrato, and it is one of the vines with more history in Piedmont, there are evidences mentioning it in 700 AD. Thanks to the higher number of seeds, it is rich in tannins, sometimes being compared to Nebbiolo, but the aromas are more delicate, as well as colors and in the mouth it is fresher with less structure despite it gives very dry wines.
In this case the wine is vinified and aged in cement tanks and bottle. A with spicy notes, dry and slightly warm. Wine for the whole meal, but never banal.
