This is a dry white wine from Jean-Yves Péron, organic, biodynamic, and natural, vinified in Savoie from organic Cortese grapes harvested in Piedmont. It is a merchant cuvée from the I Vicini series. The grapes come from Asti, in a cool microclimate that allows for relatively late ripening.
Cortese is an ancient grape variety often associated with Trebbiano or Garganega. It produces a quality wine, fresh and tangy, with a straw-yellow color with greenish highlights. Here it undergoes two weeks of carbonic maceration and spends a year aging in 34 hectoliter tuns. No fining, no filtration, no addition of sulfites.
I Vicini Cortese is a light and fresh wine, very digestible, with an alcohol content between 10 and 11 degrees, making it easy to drink. It has a minerality due to the terroir and notes of citrus, especially lemon zest. A perfect companion for tapas and the most refined starters, shellfish and caviars.
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.
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. The grapes are vatted in whole bunches and undergo semi-carbonic maceration. Shortly before pressing, they are foot-trodden in the vat, then transferred to two- or three-wine barrels for twelve months of aging on lees, before blending and resting in the vat. No sulfites are added, or as little as possible, and the wines are not fined or filtered.
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.
