History The name Grignolino derives from the Piedmontese dialectal term grignolo, which means "pip".

Characteristics of the wine obtained from this grape variety It serves as a warning that the variety produces grapes abundant in pips, and therefore tannins. The name does not, however, give any hint as to the grapes' searing acidity. Naturally high levels of tannin and acidity might suggest that Grignolino could rank alongside Piedmont's two most successful red varieties, Nebbiolo and Barbera, whose tannin and acid structure is a key element in their success.
Notes Resistance to diseases: good mildew, even more than "Barbera"; Much less to the ojio.
