"Bricco del Bosco" Grignolino del Monferrato Casalese DOC 2022 Azienda Agricola Accornero
"Bricco del Bosco," the Grignolino del Monferrato Casalese DOC 2022 by Accornero, stands as a true gem in the Monferrato winemaking tradition. While Grignolino was once overlooked, this exceptional wine, produced since 2006, brings it to the forefront. Crafted exclusively from 100% Grignolino grapes, the "unofficial" mention of Vigne Vecchie aptly fits, as the vineyard's original planting dates back to 1961, covering 1.8 hectares.
In the glass, it unveils an intense garnet hue, captivating with a highly complex bouquet. Aromas of faded flowers and wild berry jam intermingle with balsamic hints of eucalyptus and spicy nuances of pepper and cloves. On the palate, it is simultaneously crisp and enveloping, featuring a dense tannic structure inherent to the varietal. A wine of great class and strong personality, it delivers a long persistence on the finish.
Not your typical steak companion, this Grignolino excels with delicately flavored white meats. Its versatility extends even to fish dishes, such as grilled salmon. The sensations are slightly tannic, portraying a delicately clear ruby color and fruity underbrush notes, enriched by distinctive hints of white pepper.
The vinification process unfolds in stainless steel tanks, and bottling takes place in spring after a cold stabilization process. "Bricco del Bosco" Grignolino epitomizes Accornero's commitment to quality and tradition, offering a unique and unforgettable tasting experience, capturing the essence of Monferrato's winemaking mastery.
