Ottin Canto X Chardonnay 2023

Description

We had been considering the idea of producing a new white wine for some time, and the biggest push towards the choice of Chardonnay came from Elio and Nicolas' boundless passion for this grape variety. Research and dedication will be our companions on this journey, which will last a lifetime, aiming to be ever more capable interpreters of our terroir. With the suppression of the religious orders and the confiscation of Church property by the Kingdom of Italy, the land from which this wine originated, then part of the ecclesiastical patrimony, was purchased by a local family at an advantageous price, but at a very high cost in the society of the time: excommunication. Canto X of Dante's Inferno recounts 'the punishment of the heretics', those who challenged the spiritual and temporal power of the Church, to whom we pay homage in the tenth wine produced by our winery.

The Ottin winery originated from a passion. The passion of a young farmer for wine and his land. A passion from afar inherited from his family, mountain winegrowers for generations. Age-old knowledge and savoir-faire that Elio Ottin could interpret by creating his farm in the early 1990s after studying at the Institut Agricole Régional and the Agricultural Institute of Verzuolo. An agricultural technician at the Agricultural Department of the Autonomous Region of Valle d'Aosta, he left public employment at the end of the 1990s to devote himself entirely to his passion and company. In 2007 he took on a new challenge: he decided to make his wine from grapes that until then had been given to a local cooperative.

Thus Ottin wines were born. Wines of great personality, produced mainly from indigenous vines, cultivated in areas naturally suited to viticulture, where the vine thrives with balance, according to environmentally friendly production techniques. Read more
