Valfaccenda

Luca Faccenda grew up in the hills of Roero and his family has been making wines in Valfaccenda, a small valley between Canale and Cisterna in Piedmont for many years. He started "Valfaccenda" in the 2010 after getting "the vineyard of my family" back from a long rental contract. He is proud of the area and knows it very well. He has no desire to emulate the wines of nearby Langhe since the wines he makes in Roero are a beautiful representation of his beautiful area! Luca's winemaking is hands off - only native yeast, whole bunch maceration, concrete vats & used barrels. His goal is to obtain wine that becomes the "liquid translation of our grapes, vineyards and vintages". He believes that Nebbiolo and Arneis are the best grapes able to "translate" in wine the terroir of Roero.
