Tenuta Montemagno
Grignolino D'Asti
Asti, Piedmont, Italy
This wine has an extremely light garnet color and a nose of flowers, strawberries and earth. The palate is full of bright red fruit that’s a bit tart, but it’s the tannins that will leave you gasping - extremely firm, with a razor’s edge acidity. This is not to say it’s unpleasant - quite the opposite, in fact. It is a very distinctive wine and may possibly be one which will have to grow on you. Try it chilled for starters.
