This wine is part of Jean-Yves Péron’s “I Vicini” project—a small négociant line where he sources organically farmed grapes from old vines in Piedmont and vinifies them naturally in his Savoyard cellar.
2 weeks of whole-cluster carbonic maceration
Indigenous yeast fermentation in neutral 300L barrels
Bottled unfiltered, unfined, with no added sulphites
A bright and textured orange-style wine with notes of citrus zest, grapefruit, white flowers, and a whisper of Alpine herbs. The maceration adds a gentle tannic grip, while the finish is clean, salty, and refreshingly dry. It’s mineral, energetic, and full of vitality.
Pairs beautifully with oysters, grilled fish, goat cheese, vegetable tarts, or root vegetables. Its light tannin structure also makes it surprisingly versatile—great with roast chicken or alpine cheeses.
Jean-Yves Péron is a leading figure in the French natural wine scene. Based in the Savoie, he’s known for working with steep alpine vineyards, biodynamic practices, and low-intervention techniques. With “I Vicini,” he explores historic Italian varieties like Favorita and gives them his signature touch: purity, tension, and soul.
A zesty, macerated white made from old-vine Favorita in Piedmont. Two weeks of skin contact lend it texture and grip, while native fermentation and zero additions make it a clean, expressive natural wine. Lively, salty, and full of character—perfect chilled with seafood or fresh cheeses.
