Grignolino
2024
This isn’t your Nonna’s red (but she’d probably also love it). Grignolino is one of Italy’s best-kept secrets – a naturally expressive, light-bodied red that defies expectations. Aromas of red berries and wild Alpine herbs, this wine is all about pure, vibrant energy.
A sleeper pick for admirers of Nebbiolo, Gamay or Pinot Noir. Perfect if you’re looking for a lower alcohol wine (12.5%), a fresh expression, and enjoy unoaked reds from under-the-radar grape varietals.
From third generation winemakers on UNESCO heritage status vineyards, the Doglia family's small-scale, hands-on approach ensures meticulous care from vineyard to bottle. Italy's leading wine guide Gambero Rosso named them Winemaker of the Year in 2022.
90 Points, WineAlign: “This youthful grignolino pours a very pale red (and could pass for a deeper rosé), a feature of this colour pigment-poor variety, like its grandfather nebbiolo. I love the fresh strawberry/raspberry fruit on the nose, pure and exuberant, and the crunchy-lively acids, fresh but not hard, especially impressive in the hot 2024 vintage. Tannins are fine and silky, while the finish lingers on impressively. Lots to love in this uniquely Piedmontese expression; chill lightly and enjoy over the next 2-3 years.”
