Weekend Wine... Grosjean Torrette
October 2, 2009 at 9:30 am by Jay
The Wine... Grosjean Freres is a small estate in the communes of Quart and Saint Christophe in the Vallee d'Aoste, Italy's extreme northwest. 90% of the region's wine is red. The soils here are glacial moraine which is rocky and semi-fertile which adds to the creation of quality wine. The wine is spicy and aromatic and will appeal to lovers of Pinot Noir. Come by for a taste this afternoon and discover an under-the-radar wine... from Italy’s most remote wine growing zone, an area of the country better known to hikers, skiers and cheese lovers than to wine drinkers.
