By Costa dei Tigli, Asti, Piemonte, Italy
A light-coloured Grignolino d'Asti from 50-year-old vines, named after the owners' great-grandmother Angiolina.
Tasting notes
Pale ruby. Delicate floral scent with morello cherry, undergrowth, a hint of oriental spice and roses. Dry but harmonious, warm and pleasant, with a refined slightly bitter finish.
Pairs well with
All-meal wine; suits starters and first courses given its aromatic intensity; perfect for light dishes.
