GAMAY
Gamay has always been one of the most cultivated red wine varieties in the Aosta Valley, as it lends itself very well to a mountain area like ours.
After identifying some extremely interesting vineyards, we decided to invest in this wine label as well. Clearly, by putting our signature on it: the idea was to create a fresh and typically aromatic product, but also with a certain structure. To achieve this, we worked on the yields in the vineyard, as well as on some slightly more complex refinements. And here is the result: a round, full-bodied wine, which also lends itself to accompany hearty dishes. A good compromise between young wines and those that boast a long aging.
What should I expect while sipping a glass of Gamay?
By tasting our Gamay, you will be surprised, because instead of being in front of a classic simple wine, sometimes even a little hard, usually drinkable, you will be confronted with a more demanding and important product, with an above average structure.
