Jean-Noël Grossi had an inborn talent for the family business from a young age! He is the fifth generation in a family of wine-growers. “As was often the case in the time of my ancestors, families possessed vines and also olive trees and wheat fields. I loved this pastoral environment!”, recounts the humble wine-grower. In 1984, Jean-Noël took over the domain and soon after decided to restructure it.
He set to work planting high-quality local grape varieties such as Niellucciu and Vermentinu. “The Patrimonio vineyard, benefiting from the oldest “appellation contrôlée” has been restored with a perfect respect for and understanding of the land. We have kept traditions such as the manual harvest and we accept natural fermentation. Well-thought out farming in complete harmony with nature!” explains Isabelle, Jean-Noël’s wife, who has been at his side for three decades.
Today the domain covers 8 hectares, with the secret hope of expanding further one day!
