The Grosjean family has been farming the Valle d'Aosta since it was French territory, but it was only in the 1960s that Dauphin Grosjean (can you get more French with a name like that?) decided to turn the family's house wine, for family consumption, into a career. He began in earnest in 1969, and since 1975 only sustainable and organic farming practices have been used. Dauphin's sons now run the estate, and are focused on producing gorgeous wines, made with integrity.
What importer Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine...
Produced solely from the Fumin grape, another autochthonous variety of this region; the juice is fermented in wood vats and then aged in a mix of cask and barrel. This is the longest-lived wine of the estate with deep color, an intense wild berry flavor and layers of complexity, yet soft tannins at an early age make this wine appealing even in its youth. A wine we judge to have superior potential as the most profound wine of this estate.
