Farinet®, the freedom lover.
Farinet – the Robin Hood of the Valais Alps. A personality who has left his mark on Valais. Undaunted, he pointed out the ills of the system. But his words and actions went unheard, so he wanted to develop a more just system himself – not entirely in line with the legal system in place at the time. After all, he gave his counterfeit money to needy and poor people, following the English model.
This goings-on were not tolerated by the Valais authorities. They chased him into the ravine next to our vineyard Domaine de Ravoire, from where the Valais police put an end to Mr. Farinet’s life. In his spirit of freedom, we have created a line of wines that highlight the excellent location of Valais and emphasize his human side.
