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
