The Producer

About Tenuta Grillo

Situated in the esteemed Monferrato region of Piedmont, our vineyards at Tenuta Grillo benefit from a rich historical legacy in winemaking. Our winemaking philosophy revolves around meticulous attention to detail, with a focus on low yields and rigorous grape selection. We embrace traditional techniques such as extended macerations with the grape skins and the use of indigenous yeasts, while minimizing the use of sulfur dioxide and eschewing other additives. Maturation primarily occurs in large wooden vessels, allowing our wines to develop complexity and character. Nestled in the sandy soils of Gamalero, our vineyards experience a continental climate marked by warm days and cool nights, imparting a unique balance to our wines. The combination of low yields.
