Sindi Mandiqui 'Grignoleo' Grignolino 2023 | Piemonte, Italy

A Piemonte red made from 100% Grignolino, a little known cousin of Nebbiolo.

Red cherry, tart plums and redcurrants, bramble, fresh forest herbs, and an alpine leafy quality. Smooth on the palate, light to medium bodied, with grainy lines of tannin and fresh acidity.

The grapes were harvested in the beginning of September. Fermentation occurred in concrete, with 5 days of skin maceration, before being rested in steel over the winter. Unfined and unfiltered, with a small amount of sulphur added immediately before bottling in April.
