Guido Zampaglione

Italy · Piemonte/Campania

Tenuta Grillo is found in Piedmont within the second-largest area, Monferrato. Tenuta Grillo is a smaller winery with 32 hectares where 17 of them are planted with vines – 11 with red grapes and 6 with white. The winery is located just outside Mombaruzzo, 350 meters over the sea.

The soil is highly sandy and heavily drained. Guido Zampaglione is extremely thorough and therefore go through each field 3 times during the harvest in order to pick the grapes at just the right time – one word to describe Guido’s wines would be durable.

The grapes grown are Freisa, Dolcetto, Barbera, Merlot, Cortese and Sauvignon blanc.
