Grignolino del Monferrato Casalese

Medium

Cork

Ermanno Accornero crafts two Grignolinos: a deliciously fragrant, youthful and frisky version which sees a short passage in stainless steel, and this complex, long-macerated, oak-aged example from 50-year-old vines. It is a tribute to Grignolino’s long yet long-forgotten glorious history. The 2013 is just starting to show some developing nuances and is an intriguing mix of crunchy, tangy cranberry and red currant with savoury forest underbrush, truffle, incense and a distinct flinty note. Assertive tannins dissolve slowly across the palate of this midweight red, making way for mouth-cleansing acidity and a bitter orange finish.
