i Vicini Barbera Red 2022
Jean-Yves Péron
I Vicini Barbera by Jean-Yves Péron is an organic, biodynamic, and natural red wine. It is vinified in Savoie from Barbera grapes harvested in Piedmont.
Vinification
Barbera is grown in Asti and Alba. The second most widely used red grape variety in Italy after Sangiovese, it produces full-bodied, colorful wines with red fruits. Harvested by hand, no sulfites added, no filtration, no fining. Both Barberas are macerated for three months with punching down and undergo a fifteen-day carbonic maceration. The wine is aged for one year in 300-liter barrels.
Tasting
This I Vicini Barbera is a great wine in every sense of the word. Long, very fruity, generous, deep, with superb acidity resulting from a moderately ripe harvest, it is both serious and joyful, intense and concentrated. Finesse, minerality, tension, a beautiful, intense and colorful red color: it begs to accompany fine cuts of meat and roasts.
Learn more about Jean-Yves Péron
Jean-Yves Péron is a talented embodiment of the organic, biodynamic, and natural renaissance of the Savoyard vineyard, which is based on varied soils and numerous indigenous grape varieties (Jacquère, Altesse, Mondeuse, etc.). At his Chevaline winery in the Bauges region, he vinifies grapes from his plots in Conflans, near Albertville, and Fréterive, in the Isère valley.
High-altitude biodynamics
Jean-Yves Péron's work follows the principles of minimal intervention. On narrow, steep slopes, his hand-worked mountain vines in micro-plots receive no synthetic products, Jean-Yves preferring horsetail and nettle manure. All of Jean-Yves Péron's wines are sulfite-free, made from hand-harvested grapes, vinified in whole bunches and foot-trodden in the vat. For all vintages, the free-run and press are blended, then aged on lees for at least one year, in two- or three-wine barrels, amphorae or tuns, before final blending. They must be stored at a temperature below 18°C. No sulfites are added, or as little as possible, and the wines are not fined or filtered.
Italo-Savoyard trade
Since 2011, a trading activity has allowed Jean-Yves Péron to buy the harvest from neighboring organic winegrowers and to collaborate with winegrowers from Northern Italy: this is the I Vicini series, which allows him to diversify the terroirs and deepen his experiences in winemaking and aging.
