GALLIA SAUVAGES

French Grape Ales

Pantin, France

Master brewer Rémy Maurin partners with select organic vineyards in Alsace, the Loire Valley, and the Rhône Valley to deliver the grapes straight to the brewery when they’re harvested.  The fruit is de-stemmed and pressed and then goes into fermentation tanks to be macerated in their own juice.  Indigenous yeast is used to start the natural fermentation process to which beer wort is added for co-fermentation.  The French Grape Ales are then aged in oak barrels or in amphoras for several months before being bottled.

Cantina Brassicola – Italian Barrel-Aged Wild Ales

Pianoro (Bologna), France

Yeast is the new hops!  Since 2016, four guys from Bologna have started their journey through wild yeast, barrels, fruit, and Italian Wild Ales.  This “Cantina Brassicola” patiently ages their beers in their barrel cellar and then are bottle conditioned.  Their Italian Grape Ales are made from Grechetto (Û Baccabianca – White) and Centesimino (Û Baccarossa – Red) grapes from local Biodynamic and Organic vineyards in the Emiglia-Romagna region.

Vinification in steel tanks for part of the harvest, the remainder was vinified in new oak barrels. Only 1,800 bottles of this wine were produced.

This grape variety is astonishing. It must be delicately pressed, the must must be left to settle patiently, then vinified gently. And we obtain a brilliant white wine with scents of citrus fruits (yuzu, lemon), white fruits (pear, peach) and star anise. The palate is lively in its richness and rich in its liveliness.

Tasting notes

This vintage, year after year, is characterized by balance, harder to obtain for a concentrated wine.  One is immediately reassured by the deep purple hue color. The aromas have been slowly but inexorably developing since leaving the aging cellar: Burlat cherry, violet, blackcurrant jam, ink and even Mirabelle plum and mango. Powerful, muscular tannins.
