100% Grignolino. In 2020, Valfaccenda finally had enough time and resources as they've grown as a winery to take on a new little side project about which Luca Roggero has been curious for a long time: the terroir of new appellation for the duo, in this case, Monferrato. This is Grignolino from Monferrato, a native Piemontese variety which doesn't occur in the sandy soils of their home Roero. Sourced from an organic grower of a vineyard of 25 year-old vines, on white chalky soils and with a southeast exposition. Fruit is macerated for two weeks, fermented in steel, and aged for six months in a mix of cement and steel. Unfined, unfiltered. Only a few thousand bottles produced -- this will always be a limited production wine, as it's a little passion project for the winery.
