In the days of the Roman Empire the Allobroges were Celtic people living in the Rhone Valley of France who received acclaim for their dark, rich red wines made from the Allobrogica vine.  Their winemaking tradition has continued in the Rhone Valley for over two millenia and inspires our wine today.
