Gamay from Italy's smallest and least-known wine region—the Aosta Valley, tucked between France and Switzerland in the far northwest corner of the country. Grosjean Frères has farmed organically since 1975 (certified 2011). Their Gamay comes from steep, south-facing upper slopes in the villages of Quart, Saint Christophe, and Villeneuve. Four to five days of maceration, then stainless steel aging preserves bright fruit character. Think of it as a smokier, more mineral cousin of Beaujolais—mountain Gamay with altitude and character.
