Red
Grignolino
By Tenuta Foresta, Asti, Piemonte, Italy
Easy-to-drink, fragrant light red from a 1978 vineyard in front of the house, macerated only 2 to 3 days. Pure Grignolino from the 2023 vintage.
Tasting notes
Fresh red fruits (red currant, cranberries, red cherry) and a hint of spiciness like white pepper. Almost rosé but still not it.
Pairs well with
Aperitivo, salmon, chicken, turkey or rabbit, dark chocolate cake.
