Valérie Forgues Icône VDF Rouge 2020

Country: France

Region: Loire

Type: Red Wine

Grape: Pineau d’Aunis/Cab Franc/Gamay

Organic farming. 30 year-old vines. The bunches were destemmed and fermented spontaneously with native yeasts and without sulfur in stainless steel and fiberglass tanks; the Pineau and Cabernet Franc were co-fermented, with the small bit of Gamay added after vinification to lighten up the blend. The wine was aged in vat and bottled without filtration and with minimal sulfur.

Juicy and full of red and black berries, with notes of white pepper and dried strawberry.
