Grignolio, it is in the name, you cannot help but grin from this wine. Opening with aromas of drying raspberries, strawberries and cranberries that merge with notes of sage, thyme, and dusty earth on the joyful nose. Crunchy red berries pop on the palate, with blood orange and citrus notes adding a zestiness to the palate. The finish brings a savory twist of rosemary and mint, all elevated by vibrant acidity. A wine that also likes a chill. (JP)

Notes

The 2023 Braida "Limonte" Grignolino d'Asti is a high-energy, "crunchy" red that showcases the unique personality of the Grignolino grape—a variety known for its pale color but surprisingly firm tannic structure. The name "Limonte" refers to the silt (limo) and clay soils of the vineyard in Rocchetta Tanaro. The nose is incredibly floral and "seductive," bursting with fresh roses and violets alongside bright fruits like wild strawberry, raspberry, and apricot. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and vibrant, balancing a juicy red-berry core with "dusty," grippy tannins and a zesty acidity. The finish is clean and persistent with a savory twist of white pepper and Mediterranean herbs.
