Tenuta Olim Bauda Grignolino d'Asti Isolavilla

This remarkably vibrant, precise, and highly expressive Piedmontese red wine opens with an inviting, distinctive bouquet of sour red cherries, wild red currants, and dried forest flowers, beautifully layered with sophisticated undertones of damp underbrush, orange peel, and a characteristic twist of cracked white pepper. On the light-bodied but surprisingly structured palate, it showcases a lively, savory core of bright orchard berries driven by an electric regional acidity. A fine, dense line of chalky, grape-seed tannins anchors the mid-palate, giving this pale red wine immense architectural nerve and carrying into a beautifully dry, clean finish marked by a pleasantly bitter almond aftertaste.

Food Pairing: A highly versatile and refreshing food wine; pairs beautifully with a traditional Italian selection of cured meats, zucchini and ricotta frittatas, fried anchovies, or light tomato-sauce ravioli.
