Valle D'aosta
Valle d'Aosta DOC is a regional denomination, which allows the production of white, shaved and red wines. The viticulture is developed on the sides of the valley that rise towards the alpine peaks. It is a heroic, tiring viticulture, with often terraced vineyards, which can only be worked manually and which provide low yields.
It is a region rich in rare and very interesting native grapes, preserved over the centuries in a mountain area, which has remained sheltered from the fashions of international grapes.
There are many geographical indications in the area: Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle (prié blanc), Chambave Muscat (white muscat), Nus Malvoisie (pinot grigio), Arnad-Montjovet (nebbiolo, minimum 70%), Chambave (petit rouge, minimum 70%), Donnas (nebbiolo, minimum 85%), Enfer d'Arvier (petit rouge, minimum 85%), Nus (vien de Nus, minimum 40%), Torrette (petit rouge, minimum 70%).
