The wine region of Grignolino d'Asti
Piedmont DOC on the hills of Monferrato, calcareous and sandy soils. Grignolino is the unique native signature variety (from grignole, "many pips" in Piedmontese). Reds atypical for Piedmont: pale ruby robe evolving towards orange with wild strawberry, red cherry, raspberry, rose, sweet spices and a herbaceous touch, fine, slightly austere tannins and a delicately bitter finish — airy, fresh and elegant style. To drink young, contrasting with neighbouring Barolo and Barbaresco.
The wine region of Piedmont
Kingdom of Nebbiolo: Barolo and Barbaresco DOCG, long-ageing reds with firm tannins and lively acidity, complex aromas of withered rose, sour cherry, tar, truffle and undergrowth. More accessible, tangy Barbera on red fruit, supple, crisp Dolcetto. Sweet, floral sparkling Moscato d'Asti, mineral, lemony Gavi (Cortese) white, round, almondy Arneis from Roero. 50,000 ha across the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, UNESCO.
The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
