GRIGNOLINO D'ASTI, DOC, 2008
  La Mondianese
 
LA MONDIANESE

Located in the hills of Castagnole Monferrato and Montemagno ("big hill") in the province of Asti, the La Mondianese farm covers 6 acres with a cellar having the state of the art modern encology.

Named for the large percentage of pips, or “grignole,” as they are called in the Piedmontese dialect, Grignolino vines yield very few bunches of grapes - - but grapes that happen to make an extraordinary wine. 

Tasting notes: Delicate in style and color, round and full with dark cherry overtones, finishing with light, soft tannins.
