Marchesi Incisa Grignolino D'Asti, 750ml, Grignolino D'Asti, Italia, 2020

The Marchesi Incisa family holds roots in Piemonte dating back 100 years. In the town of Monferrato, they grow indigenous varietals demonstrating to the world how just special they are. In the 1850's, Leopoldo Incisa came back from his journeys in France with clones of Pinot Noir & Merlot, planting them in the vineyards. These old vines have developed their own beautiful characteristics as well. Siblings Filiberto and Francesca now run the winery. 
The name is derived from the Piemontese dialect word 'grignole’, which means grape seeds. The Grignolino grape has a lot of these seeds, responsible for great tannic structure. You will at first be puzzled by this wine’s color, similar to that of a rose. Despite this, the wine reveals great structure and a delicate dryness. Grignolino is a terroir-driven wine, a rarity in Monferrato. In a world of sameness, the varietal cuts through with stunning eccentricity and quality.
