Once the most widely grown grape variety in the Vallée du Grésivaudan of Isère, Verdesse dwindled to 2 hectares and was nearly lost until growers began replanting it a decade ago.  Therefore grapes are grown on only about 3-7 year old vines in “black shale” soils at 520m. Hand harvested, pressed by...

Sorgente, a 1.5-hectare cru at 450m facing SW, previously made Salicutti’s Rosso di Montalcino. It is named for the water source (sorgente) that runs below.  As the vines have gotten older and more expressive, it is now elevated to Brunello stature.  Sorgente has more clay in the topsoil compared...
