Grignolino from Piemonte

Olek Bondonio La Berchialla Piemonte DOC Grignolino 2013
Red wine from Piemonte, Italy. The grape is Grignolino.

Grinolino is a grape which is mostly grown in Piemonte. 
It has relatively high tannin and acid like Nebbiolo, but doesn't have enough depth to become popular grape. At least, that's what I heard.
JC tried this varietal before and he said it felt like rose wine.

This wine has more depth than the grape's reputation.
It has deep ruby color, characteristics of very ripe red fruit, olive, toast, compost, and interestingly, savoriness of sauteed vegetable.

This flavor makes this wine compatible with vegetable dishes.

We had this with Swordfish, and the wine went really good with the sauteed spinach and zucchini.
Interesting wine. 
This is not a kind of wine to drink by itself, but fun wine to pair with food. 
And I like the label, too!
