Sindi Mandiqi Piedmont Grignolino 2023 750ml

Organic. 100% Grignolino. This is Sindi Mandiqi's first vintage; she is the cellarhand of and apprentice to well-regarded Barbaresco vignaiolo Olek Bondonio. The grapes for this bottling are drawn from an organic farmer-partner in Vignale Monferrato. The grapes were harvested in the beginning of September and fermented in cement. The fruit only saw 5 days of maceration as the dry vintage conditions led to less pulp and more skins on the fruit. It rested in steel during the winter and was bottled unfined and unfiltered with a small SO2 addition in April.
