A wine with personality! Tangy red fruits on the nose, think morello cherry & blueberries. Round on the palate with a hint of spice and a long finish.
Frédéric Giachino has been producing wine in his domain for more than 20 years, utilising organic techniques for half of that time. Located in the Chartreuse Hills, the vines of Giachino grow along the limestone slopes of Mount Granier. The climate can be unforgiving, and the landscape offers only limited space for viticulture. However, ancient glaciers managed to create large valleys with rocky outcrops as they retreated. So, against the odds, the land is actually perfect for growing vines.
Vinification: Grapes are harvested as whole bunches by hand and fermented using indigenous yeast. After fermentation the skins are left to infuse in the wine for 8-15 days befroe pressing. Maturation takes place in old oak barrels for 12 months before bottling by gravity.
Match it with: Wild game and grilled meats.
