Valfaccenda is the valley of the Faccendas, where Luca Faccenda is surrounded by others who share his name (geographically immediate but so distant genealogically that it’s not actually clear if they’re related). His family’s estate traces back to at least the mid-18th century, and his commitment to this land is both obvious and effortless. Luca and his partner Carolina returned to the estate in 1986 and after stints across Italy and France, reclaimed their land and began to seek its maximum expression. Made in as transparent and classic a way as possible, these bottles show exactly what is at stake in the Roero.
