Grosjean Frres is a small family winery in Italy’s Valle d’Aosta, in the foothills of the Alps. The family traces its roots back to the village of Fornet in the high mountain passes of the Valle d’Aosta known as Valgrisenche where they raised cattle. During the summer months, the family cultivated grapes and chestnuts on the slopes at lower altitude, stocking up on wine to supply themselves over the long winters. In 1969, Dauphin Grosjean, the father of the five sons that now collaborate to produce the wines of this estate, was encouraged to present his wine at the local “wine expo”. The exceptional quality of his work was recognized and the entire family became engaged in the expansion of the vineyards and in the production of wine. The Grosjeans favor local varieties, like this Premetta, a grape only recently rescued from extinction. Sourced from the estate's highest vineyards and done entirely in stainless steel, the wine is light in color and tannin, but its firm structure makes for impeccable balance.
