Didier Gerbelle is a young and driven winemaker whose dream is to revive, establish and showcase the unique indigenous grape varieties of his home, Valle d'Aosta. He has resurrected some of the varietals that became extinct after the devastation of phylloxera. The region is a small mountainous valley at the north-west corner of Piedmont, characterized by very high altitude vineyards (up to 4,000 feet above sea level), steep, terraced vineyards.
