	Grignolino Wine Grape Variety - Cellar Notes
		Grignolino is a red grape grown almost exclusively in the Piedmont region of northern Italy.

	the fine wines of the Langhe: grignolino doc
		Grignolino wine is one of the most characteristic wines in Piedmont, and its value is even more elevated by the limited quantity which is produced.
		The area of Grignolino used to be more extended than it is nowadays, but the spreading throughout Europe of the terrible grapevine diseases led as a consequence to the reduction of its cultivation areas.
		Grignolino wine has many lovers; some of them are famous, such as Giovanni Lanza, Prime Minister during the “National Unity”, who also produced this wine, and King Umberto I, who preferred it rather than other wines on his table.

	[No title]
		For the moment, Nadia is working only with Barbera, Grignolino and Ruché, the latter two being native ignominous varietals of the area that have seen a small, cultish rise in popularity in recent years, and for good reason.
		Grignolino is a grape that makes a pale, light red of garnet color and, when finely made, shows the characteristic bitter cherry, or amarena, flavor that gopes so well with lighter first courses of dried sausages and hard cheeses, like well-aged asiago.
		After two weeks we harvested the Barbera, waiting for it to dry out a little and the grapeskins seemed to be intact, perhaps because it was such a dry summer season the rains were absorbed quickly by the earth and the plants without compromising the fruit.

	GRIGNOLINO: The origins of its name (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The first citation of Grignolino dates to the end of the 18th century but it is quite probable that it was already well known in previous periods, for it seems to have been used in making the chiaretti or light red wines that were widely diffused in Piedmont in the 16th century.
		In some notarial documents, dated between 1246 and 1287 and preserved in the capitulary archives of the cathedral at Casale Monferrato, the canons appended clauses to contracts covering the rental of property they owned in which they strictly forbade tampering with plots planted in Barbesino.
		Some experts say the name is derived from grignole, a word in the local dialect that refers to the large number of seeds of the variety's grapes.

	River City Cellars - Peter's Pick
		The name of this grape, Grignolino, purportedly means, in the dialect of the Italian Piemonte, "little grin" which seems to me to be a very ambivalent definition indeed.
		It isn't quite red but it isn't rose either (there is a Grignolino Rosé; made by Heitz, but that is a different, equally praiseworthy wine that we don't, as of this writing, have in stock).
		As you may well know, Grignolino is a grape native to the Piemonte region in Italy, the most prestigious wine making region in Italy (conosci Barolo e Barbaresco?).

	Grignolino
		It’s fresh and lively, with bright acidity and enough tannin to give it substance (the name is from a dialect word for pips—seeds—which contain tannin), and it has a light body that suits it to white meat.
		Grignolino was long a wine of the aristocracy, and is said to be a favorite of the Piedmont-based Agnelli family, the modern-day aristocracy of Italy.
		But very few Grignolino vines survived the late-nineteenth-century phylloxera epidemic, and today just 1 percent of Piedmont vineyards are planted with them.

		Its appealing name seems almost certainly to have been derived from "grignole," a term in the local dialect that refers to the abundance of seeds in the Grignolino grapes.
		Even if the first official description of Grignolino dates only to the late 18th century, it is quite probable that the variety was known earlier and that its grapes were used as early as the 16th century in making light red "chiaretti" wines.
		Without doubt, the variety originated in the hills between Asti and Casale, which is still the wine's principal center of production although the vine is now cultivated in other parts of the province of Alessandria.

	Grignolino
		Grignolei, its name in the local dialect, means "grape pips" and refers to the large number of such found in the variety, which provide Grignolino with most of its tannin structure.
		Description: Refreshing, somewhat tart, raspberry fruit characterizes both the aroma and flavor of Grignolino.
		Best location: Like its kinsman Barbera, Grignolino's naturally high acidity and slowness to ripen make it fare better in hotter climates.

		The "Barbesino", as it was called in old times, is a grapevine originating from the Casale-Asti area: the first mention of its growing is found in the documents of land census in the canon chapter of Casale Monferrato of 1252, 1253 e 1254 in which it is identified as "bonis plantis".
		Grapevine: Grignolino for at least 85%; for the remaining part, other grapes with acini of similar colour "recommended" or "authorized" in the Alessandria district
		The first mention, in the Piedmont area, of growing this very typical grapevine goes back to 1593; since then, it thrives on a large part of the Alessandria district territory, giving the best results in the Acqui and Ovada areas.
