Description
A still white from the Aosta Valley, a 2023 Valle d'Aosta DOC Pinot Gris produced by Rosset Terroir. A wine born from a passion for the mountains and heroic viticulture, with grapes grown at high altitude. Fine, floral, and fruity, this wine expresses the purity and freshness of Pinot Grigio. The winery was born from a shared dream of the Rosset-Levi family, distillers for generations, deeply rooted in the mountains and artisanal know-how. Straw yellow in the glass, with an aromatic profile reminiscent of the delicacy of white flowers and the juiciness of fresh fruit. Dry, with good acidity and aromaticity, it's the perfect wine to accompany light dishes and aperitifs.

The story began to take shape in 2001, with the planting of the first three hectares of vineyard in the municipality of Saint-Christophe, just outside Aosta. The first varieties grown were Chardonnay, Syrah, and the native Cornalin. In just a few years, the estate expanded its vineyard surface and selected new, highly suited plots, where Muscat Blanc, Pinot Gris, and additional parcels of Syrah were also introduced.
A turning point came in 2017, when Rosset Terroir ventured beyond 900 meters above sea level, in the village of Villeneuve. On particularly steep slopes, in a context of heroic viticulture, the cultivation of the traditional Petite Arvine grape variety comes to life, from which the winery’s flagship wine is born: the Sopraquota 900, awarded in 2021 as Italy’s Best White Wine by Gambero Rosso ‘s Vini d’Italia guide and included in James Suckling’s Top 100 World Wines in 2024.
Today, Rosset Terroir manages around 13 hectares of vineyards and produces approximately 50,000 bottles per year, carefully selecting the region’s most promising plots and combining the expertise of seasoned technicians with modern, functional facilities. Read more
