Description
What type of wine it is
Grosjean's Grosjean Pinot Noir is a still red wine that expresses the authentic character of the Valle d'Aosta denomination. Made from Pinot Noir grapes, it is distinguished by a balanced and smooth sensory profile, characterised by a dry mouthfeel and velvety tannins. On the nose, it reveals intense aromas of strawberry, raspberry, and forest fruits, finely enriched by toasted and balsamic notes. Its structure and lasting finish make it ideal for pairing with grilled meats, cheeses, and hearty first courses.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the municipalities of Quart and Saint-Christophe, a territory that represents a true example of heroic viticulture in the Aosta Valley. The vineyards grow on extreme slopes at an altitude between 600 and 850 metres, influenced by a harsh alpine mountain climate. The sandy-loam soils, which are shallow and rich in mineral skeleton, give the wine precision and a well-defined character. Agricultural management adopts eco-sustainable practices to preserve the biodiversity of the alpine environment.
How it is produced
The production process begins in mid-September with a manual harvest. Vinification involves a base of 70% de-stemmed grapes combined with 30% whole clusters, with maceration on the skins for 8-10 days at a controlled temperature and frequent punching down. Fermentation takes place inside large oak barrels. The ageing phase lasts eight months and is divided equally between wooden barrels and stainless steel tanks, before finishing with a few months of rest in the bottle to complete its gustatory harmony.
History and trivia
This Pinot Noir represents the dedication of the Grosjean family, passionate winegrowers since 1781. It is the result of true heroic viticulture, with grapes grown on steep slopes between six hundred and eight hundred and fifty metres in the municipalities of Quart and Saint-Christophe. Each bottle expresses the connection with the mountain environment, protected by eco-sustainable practices that have excluded insecticides since 1975. A masterpiece created by an independent winegrower, capable of transforming Alpine challenges into extraordinary elegance.
