Description
Gently sloping Monferrato vineyards on calcareous marl and sandy clay form the base of the 2023 Morando Silvio Vino Rosso (Piedmont) Grignolino, Piedmont, Italy, produced within a small operation focused on preserving regional varieties through close grower collaboration. These freely draining soils support the variety’s naturally light canopy, and farming follows sustainable practice with detailed pruning and hand harvesting suited to Grignolino’s compact clusters and uneven ripening. Fermentation unfolds in steel with native yeasts and restrained extraction, a measured approach aligned with delicate skins and firmer seed structure. Aging remains in stainless steel to maintain precision and keep the influence of marl-driven soils in clear view. Within the Morando Silvio range, this Vino Rosso reflects an intent to document heritage grapes through straightforward viticulture and minimally interventionist vinification grounded in regional continuity.
