Lucas Madonia

Lucas Madonia started his adventure in Valais at the end of 2021. In 2022 on 1 ha, in 2023 1.7 ha and 2024 1.5 ha. Having spent time working with Marc Soyard at Domaine de la Cras and Tony Bornard in the Jura he started his own project on the steep terraced vineyards of the Valais, located in and around Ayent, between 600 and 820 meters above sea level. The terroir is fantastic and the altitude offers the potential to make wine with a beautiful balance of concentration and freshness. 

The soils are mainly composed of schists and limestone, but also of loess, quartz, clays and others. The terraced vineyard prevents any mechanization of winemaking tasks. 

Grass management is done with the backpack brush cutter. The organic treatments are carried out using a backpack atomizer. The harvest is taken out on the shoulder. 

In the Burgundian style of his origins he tends to bottle by plot, looking for terroir that excites him. Destemming is manual and is done through sifting. Macerations last 25 days on average. Aging takes place in old Burgundian barrels from 228L to 600L. The whites are pressed on the day of the harvest then settled in 400L barrels. All bottling is done by gravity from the barrel itself. All wines are without inputs and without added sulfites.
