Grosjean Frères
Vallée d'Aoste Gamay



This wine has a light ruby tint to it. The nose is gorgeous. Fruit is the star, cherry and strawberry aromas, but a delicious earthy note adds complexity. The palate is just as juicy, and an earthy note pulls the fruit together here as well. The tannins are fairly tame, but the acidity is refreshing. Overall, it's a great wine for sipping, salads, or seafood.

Pretty much exactly what you’d guess an Italian Gamay would taste like. Plus Gros’ gotta stick together.

Lovely gamay from Italy. Fruit forward, wild berries, with acidity kicking in on the finish.

Everything you'd expect from a French Gamay but made over the border

2014 vintage. Earthy, slightly funky, smokey cherries.

One of the most bizarre wines I have tasted recently. We tried it blind and I could have swore it was pinotage with this blackberry, smokey, bacon and tabacco. The palate had some weird acidity and fuller body than most Gamay. #weird
