2020 Cascina Tavijn Grignolino Ottavio Red Wine – Bold Italian Vintage

Discover the vibrant elegance of Cascina Tavijn’s 2020 Grignolino from Italy’s renowned Piedmont region. Crafted from young vines rooted in soils of sand, silt, and limestone, this light-bodied red wine offers a refreshing contrast to heavier reds. With meticulous care, the grapes were carefully destemmed and gently macerated over two months before aging in vats until July—a process that highlights its delicate yet complex character.

This wine captivates with a pale ruby hue and a bright array of flavors: ripe red berries mingle with zesty blood orange accents, while subtle hints of bitter herbs add depth. Its crisp acidity and soft tannins make it an ideal companion for crusty bread or artisanal salumi platters, perfect for casual gatherings or light meals.

Hailing from Piedmont’s unique terroir, Cascina Tavijn’s Grignolino stands out for its balance of freshness and finesse—a rare find among Italian reds. At 12.5% alcohol by volume, it’s approachable yet memorable, offering an inviting alternative to bold wines. Whether enjoyed alongside antipasti or simply sipped on its own, this wine celebrates simplicity and authenticity.

Note: Vintage availability may vary slightly from listed dates, but its crisp profile remains consistent year after year.
