Grignolino is one of the most underrated grape varieties in Piedmont – and Braida firmly believes in it. The name reveals where the structure comes from: "Limo" means silt, and the soil on the hills of Rocchetta Tanaro contains plenty of it. 40% silt, 30% sand and 30% clay give the wine its unmistakable backbone. The vines planted in 2010 are densely planted – 5,500 per hectare – and face south and east. Vinified exclusively in steel, four months of tank ageing and two months of bottle ageing preserve freshness and varietal character.

Light garnet red with ruby reflections, aromas of roses, freshly mown hay, apricots and wild strawberries. Fresh and elegant on the palate, with fine tannins that subtly gain presence. Ideal slightly chilled in summer, just below room temperature in winter. SUPERIORE.DE

"Very bright red; subtle red fruit notes; delicate attack, rich fruit, then distinct but pleasant tannins." Merum
