History The first traces of its cultivation date back to ancient Rome. Like many other Valdostan vines, it seems to be able to relate to the Orious family, which in turn includes two subfamilies, the "Gros Orious" and the "Petits Orious" to which the Petit Rouge vine belongs.

Characteristics of the wine obtained from this grape variety Purple red wine, with intense and vivid aroma, quite soft and alcoholic.
Notes Resistance to adversity: Resists well in cold winter; But it is sensitive to excessive humidity in soil and air, and it is very sensitive to sunburn, often because the vine is mostly cultivated in midday exposure and in light soils that can benefit from heat Coming from the reverberation of the sun on the rocks behind; Rather delicate to the mildew, but especially to the oedus; And in the vines in which they inflate, to the thistles.
