Piedmont tasting. Starts rather dry, not too acidic, earthy mushrooms

A little funky, a lot of fresh Piedmont fruit. Dig it.

Well the palate has some nice qualities and its bright and cheerful with red fruit. The nose has some serious flaws that don't blow off. Kind of acrid mouse Droppings. Maybe a blend of Brett and somethign else. Still its good if you don't smell it.

Exploring the Grignolino: Darker with more round, ripe fruit on the palate. This tannins were less sharp here, compared to other Griggs. Still, a good selection and a very good wine to pair with dark meat roast bird.
