Grignolino is an Italian variety from Piedmont. California's acreage record is a single snapshot: 60 bearing acres in 2000, split mainly between Tulare and Napa counties, with nothing reported since across 26 tracked crop years. It is a pale-colored, high-acid, tannic red, unusual for its light color despite firm structure. In California it registers today as a historical footnote rather than a maintained planting.
