Grignolino D'Asti, DOC, 2023
Gatto Pierfrancesco

The Gatto Pierfrancesco winery was started in the early 1900’s, and is now run by the third generation of winemakers.  This tradition is reflected in the label.  The winery is located between the municipalities of Castagnole Monferrato and Montemagno.

Tasting notes:  Light bodied red wine with an orangeish hue around the edge of the glass. Scents of rose and raspberry with a hint of  pepper greet you alongside elegant tannins and good acidity.
