Vinification of the Grignolino del Monferrato from Tenuta Tenaglia

The powerful Grignolino del Monferrato from Italy is a single-varietal wine made from the Grignolino grape variety. The vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on clay and marl soils in Piedmont. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are quickly transported to the winery. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled. Ageing in wooden barrels is followed by extensive bottle ageing, which makes this red wine even more complex.
