Grignolino d'Asti by Luigi Spertino is an iconic and identifying Piedmontese red wine that faithfully recounts the Monferrato terroir. It carries out alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in exhausted Slavonian oak barrels and expresses an aromatic bouquet that smells of roses and geraniums, with delicate touches of blood orange and pink pepper, revealing itself in a dry, delicate but substantial mouthfeel, with smooth tannins and rich fresh and savoury charge.
- GRIGNOLINO D'ASTI LUIGI SPERTINO 2023 DESCRIPTION
- Grignolino d'Asti by Luigi Spertino is a Piedmontese red wine with great territorial typicality. In the lands of Monferrato, the Grignolino grape variety has been cultivated for centuries and gives a wine particularly appreciated for its elegant and subtle profile, its floral notes and delicate aromas. The vinification in old Slavonian oak barrels and in steel allows the wine to evolve harmoniously, preserving the characteristic varietal notes that give Grignolino a strong and unique character and personality in the Italian wine scene. It is an atypical red, with a pale color and a pleasantly light and graceful sip.
- The red Grignolino d'Asti is produced in the countryside of Mombercelli, in the wonderful hilly region of Monferrato. The Luigi Spertino estate is located in Le Mandorle, an area characterized by steep slopes, where the vines are located: Barbera, Cortese, Grignolino and Pinot Nero. The Grignolino vineyards are divided into two different plots, one in Mombercelli and the other in Portacomaro, on lands characterized by sandier soils. The great care in the work in the vineyard, the use of minimally invasive winemaking practices, which always try to leave the aromas of the grapes in the foreground, allow us to create wines with an artisanal, genuine and honest face. Luigi Spertino's labels are true interpreters of the territory and the best peculiar characteristics of the vines.
- The Grignolino d'Asti wine from the Piedmontese winery of Luigi Spertino is the fruit of vineyards managed entirely by hand, without even the use of tractors, to prevent the soil from compacting and compromising the natural vitality of the land. Fermentation takes place using only indigenous yeasts in exhausted Slavonian oak barrels, so that there are no transfers of wood aromas to the wine. Before bottling, the wine ages for 4 months in steel tanks. In the glass it has a light ruby red color, with coppery nuances. The bouquet recalls the scent of geranium and rose petals, citrus aromas of blood orange, small red berries and a touch of pink pepper. The sip is dynamic and flowing, with delicate aromas, a velvety tannic texture and a pleasantly fresh finish.
