## Summary

Pure Grignolino, an ancient native variety with small, compact berries. Its pale garnet colour makes it an alternative to rosé or white wines.

## Tasting notes

Colour: garnet red with an almost orange rim. Nose: typical profile with floral notes of slightly dried wild rose and bramble, and the spice of cloves, cinnamon and ground white pepper characteristic of Grignolino del Monferrato Casalese. Palate: fresh, savoury, warm, with the right, typical tannins.
