Tiny production single-vineyard wine from a coastal plot with sea breezes that add a refreshing salinity. One of the few Palomino vineyards outside of Spain!
Pallagrello Bianco became a favourite of King Ferdinand IV. He set aside a place for the grape in his famous "Vigna del Ventaglio", or "fan-shaped" vineyard, which was reserved for only his favourite vines. It's a much-loved, yet almost extinct, green-skinned grape variety thought to have originated in Campania. Alepa's Pallegrello is like browned butter, slate, and white flower, with a warm amber colour.
Unique Mediterranean-Burgundian winemaking from good pals Paul Perarnau (the farmer) and Willy Roulendes (the vigneron). The grapes are harvested from two certified organic parcels, one situated below the famed Puligny-Montrachet and one in the Southernmost region of Côte de Beaune, Maranges.
A light, delicate Pinot Noir with loads of fruit and a green pepper note from the whole-cluster maceration, that spends a year in barrel before bottling.
High elevation site with soils heavy in clay and light in limestone, from a plot in front of Santenay. Sharp green apple mellowed out with a creamy secondary fermentation.
Willy got his expertise first working wines in Clos du Moulin aux Moines, Auxey-Durresses, where he developed a rich understanding of the land of Cote de Beaune. Now he and his lifelong friend are making a name for themselves with AMI. In conversion to biodynamic farming, the wines come from chemical free, healthy ecosystems.
Classic varietal character of dark berries, white pepper, tobacco, and chalk. The palate is full and energetic with long-lasting flavours of dark cherry, blackcurrant, violet, lavender, and rose petal.
