2022 Fabio Gea "Back Grin" Grignolino Vino Rosso Piemonte

The Fabio Gea "Back Grin" Grignolino Vino Rosso Piemonte is a unique and expressive wine from the innovative winemaker Fabio Gea, based in the Langhe region of Piedmont. Known for his experimental approach and dedication to preserving old Piedmontese traditions, Gea produces small-batch wines that emphasize the distinct characteristics of local grape varieties. Grignolino, an ancient variety often overshadowed by Barolo and Barbera, finds new life in his hands. The Back Grin Grignolino is a fresh and lively wine with light tannins and high acidity, typical of the grape. It reveals aromas of wild strawberries, raspberries, and a hint of white pepper, along with floral notes. On the palate, it is vibrant and zesty, with flavors of red fruits, spices, and a slightly earthy, mineral finish. Fabio Gea’s minimalist intervention in the cellar allows the purity of the fruit and terroir to shine through. Gea’s wines are known for their individuality and character, and the Back Grin Grignolino is no exception, offering a distinctive expression of Piedmont’s lesser-known grape, making it a fascinating choice for lovers of natural and artisanal wines.
