The grape name, Grignolino, means “many seeds.” And since seeds = tannin potential, it’s a wine made with short skin contact and little extraction, creating sort of a Piemontese Pinot Noir-style wine that’s fun to drink with a chill and better still with salami and cheese. Juicy tart red cherry and strawberry fruit with a hint of something floral stand on a bed of fine, firm, grippy tannins that make your mouth water nicely.

For You If:  You enjoy the brisk acids and tannins of food-friendly Italian wines and want something with fresh fruit and a joyful personality; low-color grapes like Mencia and Schiava appeal; once you figure out how to say it, you can’t stop chanting “Grin-no-lee-no” because it’s so much fun.

Not For You If:  You’re looking for something heavy and/or serious; you’re in the mood for lots of concentration and density; you don’t like high tannins, no matter how delightfully mouthwatering they are.
