Fuso, “Teh” Rosso Piemonte Piedmont, Italy $21
Rustic everyday wine meant that is great with food. Lean and bright with a punchy raspberry fruit profile accented by rocky, chalky minerality, good grip on the palate – between Barbera’s vertical acidity and Freisa and Grignolino’s grippy tannins. Simple but not boring. A blend of Barbera, Grignolino, Freisa, Bonarda
Accornero, Grignolino “Bricco del Bosco” Piedmont, Italy $23
The grape Grignolino translates to many pips, or seed, which creates a wonderfully fruity and high acid red wine.On the palate it presents classic notes and rose hips and hints of white pepper and is finally slightly tannic. Its color is a very bright light ruby red. A fun wine.
