In fact, what we did drink were Nizza that, if anything, wore their years as well as any aging heartthrob.

And yeah, I do just kind of get lucky that way when I taste Nizza. Please don’t hate me…

Grignolino: “The Wine of All the Good People”

Albarossa is more versatile than your typical full-bodied red. Sure, like many fine red wines, it pairs well with meats, roasts, and cheeses; but that acidity also means that it can stand up to rich sauces, too.

Grignolino has been called scandalous, wild, anarchistic, individual, odd, difficult, wild, free, unruly, and even unprofitable.
