Tenuta La Fiammenga, Piemonte Grignolino Jescot 2023

Tenuta La Fiammenga Piemonte Grignolino Jescot 2023 is an elegant expression of one of Piedmont’s most distinctive native grapes. Produced in the historic Monferrato estate’s clay-rich vineyards, it combines vibrant red-fruit character and floral lift with polished tannins and a refined six-month maturation in French oak. The estate’s roots date back to 1596, reflecting a unique meeting of Flemish heritage and Italian winemaking tradition.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows an intense ruby-red colour in the glass. Its bouquet is inviting and expressive, with aromas of ripe red berries and cherries complemented by delicate floral notes and a subtle hint of spice. On the palate, the wine is harmonious and persistent, offering a pleasing softness supported by velvety, elegant tannins. The oak is integrated rather than dominant, adding gentle depth to the fruit and spice profile. Enjoyable in its youth, the 2023 vintage should develop gracefully over the next three to five years when stored in a cool, dark cellar.

Production
The grapes are grown in the clay-rich heart of Monferrato, a terroir well suited to producing Grignolino with both freshness and finesse. After careful harvesting, the grapes are destemmed without crushing, followed by a 24-hour cold maceration. Alcoholic fermentation takes place with regular remontage, followed by a 12-day maceration to extract colour, fragrance and supple tannins. The wine then matures for six months in French oak barrels before bottling.

Food & Serving
Its combination of ripe fruit, soft tannins and balanced freshness makes this Grignolino a versatile partner for Piedmontese cuisine. Serve it with salumi, antipasti, fresh pasta with tomato- or meat-based sauces, mushroom dishes, roasted poultry or mildly seasoned hard cheeses. Serve slightly cool, at around 14–16°C. Decanting is not essential for the young 2023 vintage, although 20–30 minutes of aeration can help open its floral and spicy aromas.
