Valdisole was born in 2015 on the hills of Corneliano d’Alba, in the Roero, when Giuseppe Amato and Kyriaki Kalimeri took over an abandoned Nebbiolo vineyard. They come from no winemaking family: they met in a sommelier course and shared from the start the same philosophy, honouring the purity of the terroir with an experimental spirit. Today a few hectares, farmed naturally with no synthetic chemicals: copper and mineral sulfur in the vineyard, hand harvesting, spontaneous fermentations, no filtration or fining, sulfites kept to a minimum at bottling. By choice the wines are made outside the Roero’s noble appellations, to preserve their stylistic freedom. The estate grows indigenous Lower Piedmont varieties, Nebbiolo first, but also the rare Malvasia Moscata and Savagnin. The Greek-named cuvées, Amos (sand), Afroditi, Nostos, Elektra, tell the story of these soils: elegant, spontaneous wines full of life.
