Description

1973 Grignolino – Marchesi Villadoria (Piedmont)

Grignolino is one of Piedmont’s most traditional and distinctive indigenous varieties, known for its pale colour, vibrant acidity and naturally firm tannic profile in youth. The 1973 vintage produced classically styled regional wines, and this bottling from Marchesi Villadoria reflects a traditional era of Piedmontese winemaking, where balance and steady evolution were central to the style.

Tasting Notes:
Now showing a light brick-red hue with amber reflections at the rim, the nose is delicately evolved and aromatic. Notes of dried red cherry, cranberry and rose petal are layered with hints of dried herbs, earthy undertones and gentle spice. On the palate it is medium-bodied yet graceful, with softened tannins and a lively thread of acidity that preserves freshness despite its age. Flavours of dried red fruits, savoury earth and subtle balsamic nuances unfold gradually, leading to a smooth, elegant and gently persistent finish.

Serving & Food Pairing:
Decant carefully to remove any natural sediment and allow the wine to open slowly before serving. Best enjoyed at cellar temperature. A fine partner to charcuterie, light game dishes, mushroom risotto or mature hard cheeses.

Summary:
A rare and characterful example of mature Grignolino from a historic Piedmont producer, offering savoury complexity and the distinctive elegance that defines this traditional regional variety. A fascinating bottle for collectors and enthusiasts of lesser-known Italian grapes.
