Brachetto d’Acqui DOCG or Acqui DOCG:

Grignolino d’Asti DOC, Limonte: In Piedmont Grignolino is normally planted in light, loose soils and gives light wines. Here, new plantings of it were in soil rich in clay and silt or ‘limo’ in Italian–and Limo is the name of the hill the vines are on. | 2013 Bit stretched on nose, but nice cherry flavours to taste (VinItaly 24th March 2015).
