Description
Tradition has taught us that the vineyards dedicated to traditional Valdostan grapes are those that express the greatest pleasantness. From this idea was born our Rosé, an intoxicating and delicate wine that represents the new interpretation of one of the most important terroirs of the Aosta Valley. The grapes are found in the vineyards of Sarre, the historical vocational area of Torrette, with southern exposure, in the vineyards of Aymavilles and Gressan.
