Tasting Notes

A fine example of Valle d'Aosta winemaking, this Valle d'Aosta DOC reflects generations of local expertise. At 13.5% alcohol, it presents a well-balanced and harmonious profile. Crafted from Nebbiolo 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. The palate shows depth and structure, with a finish that lingers pleasantly. The fruit is sourced from vineyards in Arnad and Issogne, 30 years old vines with North-West and South-West exposure on soils rich of glacial and alluvial sediments. Vinification: alcoholic fermentation in steel vats for 20 days controlled temperature. The wine is aged 12 months in oak barrels of 25 hl. A wine true to the rare, mountain-driven character of Valle d'Aosta wines.
