Iuli Light Red 2 Pack (Piedmont, Italy)

Natalin 2019 $22 100% Grignolino made all in concrete and bottled unfiltered with minimal sulfur added. Pomegrante, rose petals and wet earth on a light, but but firm frame. Serve with a little chill next to cured meat and salty cheese.

Ta Da! 2021 $28 This is a blend of Grignolino, Pinot Noir and two ancient native grapes from this area that Fabrizio is helping to revive- a red grape called Slarina and a white called Baratuciat, which roughly translates to 'Cat's Ball's' because of how the bunches look on the vine. This is on the lighter side of medium with racy red fruit and spice, perfect with a chill next to anything grilled.
