Grignolino is native to the Piedmont region of Northern Italy. It is a red grape which is predominately used to make lighter styled red wines as well as rosĂ©s. The name Grignolino derives from the word, “grignole” meaning “many pips” in the local Piedmontese dialect, which are also what gives Grignolino such high tannins.
