Jean-Yves Peron Casa Rossa VDF Red 2022

Country: Italy

Region: Piemonte

Type: Red Wine

Grape: Grignolino/Freisa/Barbera

Born and raised in the Savoie, Jean-Yves Péron studied winemaking in Bordeaux in the late 90’s. After school he spent some time working in Cornas and later in Alsace. Jean-Yves works organically and biodynamically, and the estate is divided into several micro-parcels containing Mondeuse, Jacquère, Altesse, and Roussanne. The reds are generally made carbonically and some of the whites see extended maceration times.

The grapes that make up Casa Rossa are harvested in Casale Monferrato, Piedmont. Grignolino and Freisa are pressed directly, while Barbera undergoes carbonic maceration. The three grape varieties are blended before being aged for a year in 300-liter casks. This is followed by a year in bottle.

Casa Rossa falls somewhere between a rosé and a red. Barbera adds bright acidity, Grignolino and Freisa leds a vinous quality that makes Casa Rossa an all-seasons wine. Tangy and aromatic, with notes of strawberry, redcurrant, and pomegranate.
