Domaine Giachino - Monfarina 2019
The Giachino estate manages its vineyards and produces wines based on organic methods. Wine producers for over 20 years, the vineyards are based in the Chartreuse regional park in the department of Savoie. In 1988, Frédéric took over the 1.5 hectares of vines that had been maintained by his grandfather, Marius Genton. Since then, the area has been entirely dedicated to grape production.
The estate comprises various small, organically farmed vineyards on the slopes of Mount Granier, encompassing the communes of Chapareillan, les Marches and Aprement. The complete conversion to organic farming in 2006 was the outcome of a long process.
The name Monfarina takes its inspiration from a traditional Piedmontese dance. This white wine is made from Jacquère grown on the marl and limestone outcrops of Mount Granier.
Grape variety: 100% Jacquère
