It goes against the grain of the traditional American palate that craves soft, juicy, fruit-forward wines. The name comes from the same word than means “grimace,” because the wine can be tart and tannic .Arlandino is the ancient name of Grignolino. Arlandino comes from the vineyard of Mossetti Farms in Grazzano Badoglio and from Moncalvo vineyards, land which since 1300 had been selected for the installation of this typical local grape. The soils are characterized by white, calcareous lands, rich in freshness, able to give Arlandino aromas and structure.
