It&#8217;s called <strong>L&#8217;Oriou<\/strong> and is the result of a collaboration between <strong>Herv\u00e9 Grosjean<\/strong> and <strong>Matteo Leoni<\/strong>, owner of the <strong>Agri<\/strong> brewery in Saint-Pierre. A beer with grape must that marks an absolute debut for the region and for Grosjean Vins winery itself.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L&#8217;Oriou was born as a <strong>synthesis of wine and beer<\/strong>, with the goal of showcasing Valle d&#8217;Aosta&#8217;s native varieties. The name evokes this territorial identity and celebrates the family of local grape varieties. For Grosjean Vins, known for its attention to territory-focused initiatives, this represents a new step into the world of fermentation.  <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-b72a93de\"><h5 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">PROJECT AND RAW MATERIALS<\/h5><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The brewing base uses <strong>barley grown in Valle d&#8217;Aosta<\/strong>, sourced from the Agri brewery&#8217;s fields in the Saint-Pierre area. A small amount of hops from the same area is also added. A choice that keeps the supply chain rooted in the territory.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Saison yeast, typical of Belgian beers, was selected for fermentation. Processing takes place at a slightly lower temperature to favor the varietal expression of the grape must. The result aims for a fresh, elegant, light, and dry profile. After primary fermentation, the beer is cold-lagered to stabilize it. This is followed by slight warming and bottling, a phase that initiates <strong>secondary fermentation in the bottle<\/strong>.    <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-91f26c2b\"><h5 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">THE ROLE OF PETIT ROUGE<\/h5><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The grape must is the central element of the project. &#8220;After careful study of which grape variety to use, we chose <strong>Petit Rouge<\/strong>, a native red grape variety capable of expressing intense aromas and great personality. After initial fermentation related to brewing, grape must is added at the end to complete the cycle, giving the beer a delicate pink color and hints of fresh grape aromas,&#8221; explains <strong>Herv\u00e9 Grosjean<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Petit Rouge, Valle d&#8217;Aosta&#8217;s signature variety, contributes to <strong>defining the aromatic profile and color<\/strong> of the IGA, entering the production process in the final phase of primary fermentation.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-be82d6c3\"><h5 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">COLLABORATION BETWEEN WINE AND BEER<\/h5><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Today,&#8221; concludes Herv\u00e9 Grosjean, &#8220;we can proudly speak of how this virtuous example of collaboration is able to <strong>support and promote our region<\/strong>. An operation that unites the worlds of wine and beer, creating a unique product deeply connected to Valle d&#8217;Aosta.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L&#8217;Oriou thus represents a joint project between two Valle d&#8217;Aosta producers who share local raw materials and a common vision: <strong>integrating different skills to showcase the territory<\/strong> through a new interpretation of Italian Grape Ale.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-related-links yoast-seo-related-links\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winemag.it\/agri-birre-apecar-milano-col-tutor-della-birra\/\">Agri Beers in Apecar: In Milan with the Beer Tutor<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winemag.it\/en\/broc-the-tuscan-farm-beer-by-ugo-contini-bonacossi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Br\u00f2c, the Tuscan Craft Beer by Ugo Contini Bonacossi<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winemag.it\/italian-grape-ale-petizione-salvare-birra-uva-italiana\/\">Italian Grape Ale: A Petition to Save Italian Grape Beer<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winemag.it\/en\/beer-excise-tax-2026-budget-amendment-aims-for-reduction-and-simplification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2026 Budget Aims for Reduction and Simplification<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"Beer: Abolition of Obsolete Production Constraints Closer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Beer: Abolition of Obsolete Production Constraints Closer<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An unprecedented project takes shape in Valle d&#8217;Aosta: the first Italian Grape Ale produced in the region.
