Fontanafredda Grignolino

Fontanafredda's take on Grignolino, one of Piedmont's lightest and most food-friendly native reds.

Tasting notes

Lightly coloured, ruby to almost cherry-red, with garnet highlights that deepen with age; delicate, peppery and refreshing in the mouth as is typical of Grignolino

Pairs well with

Cured meats, light antipasti, poultry
