Inspired by the skin-fermented wines of the Friuli and Sicily, Domaine La Garagista has been making Vinu Jancu since the beginning.
The grapes ferment in open vats and then the wine cycles through an amphora made from local Champlain Sea clays, the same clays the vines are rooted in, an amphora crafted by a ceramicist in Montreal. At least two years of aging before release.
Grown in the West Addison vineyard, on clay and limestone, on the edge of Lake Champlain.
