Tasting Notes: From Piedmont’s stony-soiled Roero region comes this unique blend of Arneis and Cortese. Bis-lacco is an exceptional entry level orange wine. Just a light kiss of skin contact enhances these two grapes’ already floral aromatics. Chamomile, daisy, lemon peel, white peach, wet stone, and a refreshing salinity round out this light orange.
Estate History: The family estate of Luca Faccenda, then known as Valle Faccenda, can be traced back to 1749. The winery is near the hamlet of Madonna di Loreto in the Roero section of Piedmont, an area known for the white grape Arneis and for crafting supple reds from Nebbiolo. There Luca, an enologist and his partner Carolina, an engineer, started making natural wines on the steep, sandy hills of the Roero in 2010 as Valfaccenda. Both wines offered today are totally unique and yet express completely the soils and area from which they come.
