I Vicini Grignolino Red 2021

Jean Yves Peron


I Vicini Grignolino is an organic, biodynamic, and natural red wine vinified by Jean-Yves Péron from grapes harvested in Casale Monferrato (Piedmont). Jean-Yves Péron's "I Vicini" series is a red wine made from organic grapes harvested in Northern Italy. Here, the grape variety is Grignolino, known for producing relatively light-colored and very aromatic wines. This vintage is classified as a Wine of the European Community.

Vinification


Harvesting is done by hand. Maceration takes place for three months in vats with punching down, and aging is one year in terracotta amphorae.

Tasting


I Vicini Grignolino is an intense, powerful and structured wine, with a very pretty nose and a ruby ​​red color. Great freshness, beautiful structure, lots of aroma. Try it with country charcuterie from the Ferme de Mayrinhac or with a rabbit fricassee with red wine and porcini mushrooms: the raw material is found at the Ferme du Bois de Boulle.

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. 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.

Italian-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.
