Description
Still rosé from the Valle d'Aosta DOC, 12.5% ABV, produced by Les Cretes. 2023 vintage. A rosé that tells the story of the Charrère family, six generations dedicated to heroic viticulture in the Aosta Valley. The grapes used in our rosé come from different clones of native varieties, grown in old vines, which contribute to its remarkable sensory complexity. These vineyards have always been used for the production of Torrette, the oldest DOC in the Aosta Valley, which we have decided to dedicate for the first time to the production of rosé. Three-hour skin maceration of whole grapes chilled in the press. Fermentation for 12 days in stainless steel at 14°C. Aged "sur lies" for 2 months. Delicate, pleasant, floral and fruity on the nose with clear notes of strawberry, currant, and white melon. Fresh and pleasant taste with notes of white peach, fine structure, good acidity and a savoury finish.
