In the early 1800s, the Grignolino grape was one of the most widespread in the Alessandria province, actually the second most used in Piedmont. Today, it produces its bright, delicate wines which are somehow not in accordance with the times and not least with what the other red wines of the region are known for, namely robustness and durability.
Grignolino del Monferrato Casalese is produced around the town of Casale Monferrrato and can contain up to 10% Freisa grapes.
