Heitz Cellar, St. Helena, Napa Valley (California) Grignolino 2017

Jul 20, 2022

By Miranda Franco

 Made entirely from Grignolino, an adored variety from the Piedmont region in northern Italy, this packs aromas and flavors of strawberry, rhubarb, pomegranate, paprika, and crushed red pepper.  Heitz Cellar is the only producer of 100% Grignolino in the United States.  Their Grignolino has beautiful ripeness, bright acidity, medium-weight, balanced tannins, and distinct notes of red spice.  Its bright acidity and freshness makes it remarkably food-friendly.  Pair with BBQ or charcuterie and share only with people you truly like.
