About this wine
Jean‑Yves Péron “I Vicini” Moscato 2022 is a small‑batch, minimal‑intervention orange wine from Savoie (Haute‑Savoie), France, crafted by renowned natural‑winemaking icon Jean‑Yves Péron. The fruit is 100% Muscat (Muscat d’Asti) sourced from Piedmont in northern Italy and brought over the Alps to be vinified in Péron’s cellar, blending Italian fruit character with Savoie expression.
Tasting notes
Light‑ to medium‑bodied with aromas of apricot, kumquat, mandarin peel, dried mango, guava, lychee, mountain flowers, and rose water. On the palate, the wine is textural and vibrant, with bright acidity and an engaging tannic grip, finishing long, savoury, and refreshing.
Style & winemaking
Produced using low‑intervention, natural techniques, the hand‑harvested Moscato grapes undergo extended skin maceration (about two months) before ageing for a year in barrels. The wine is bottled unfined, unfiltered, with minimal added sulfites, preserving its aromatic intensity and textured character.

Jean Yves-Peron 'I Vicini' Moscato 2022
Moscato
Biodynamic, Unfined/Unfiltered, and No preservatives
The grapes ferment spontaneously with native yeasts. The wine is then aged in used oak barrels. Finally, it is bottled without being filtered, clarified or adding sulphites.
After gaining experience from great masters of natural winemaking like Thierry Allemand and Bruno Schueller, Jean-Yves Péron has recovered micro-plots of land in the mountain village of Chevaline (Savoy) to make his own natural wines. This project extended to the other side of the Alps when he began collaborating with Italians Paolo Angelino in Casale Montferrato and Giorgio Barbero in Asti.
