Description
What kind of wine it is
Rosset Terroir Petite Arvine is an elegant still white wine that embodies the essence of mountain viticulture. Produced in the setting of the Aosta Valley, it presents itself with a bright straw yellow colour. The bouquet is refined, with delicate notes of jasmine accompanied by hints of apple and citrus. On the palate, it stands out for its pronounced savoury and mineral character, balanced by a persistent and harmonious finish. Made from the Petite Arvine grape variety, it represents a perfect synthesis of intensity and structure.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown on the steep slopes of Monjovet, at six hundred metres above sea level, where the Rosset Terroir winery practises true heroic viticulture. The vineyards benefit from optimal exposure and take root in sandy soil, a key element for the wine’s distinct mineral definition. The estate manages the vines with artisanal care, following the principles of organic and sustainable agriculture to respect the Alpine ecosystem and offer a pure expression of the territory.
How it is produced
Production begins at the end of September with a meticulous manual harvest, aimed at selecting only the best bunches. In the winery, the grapes undergo gentle pressing and ferment in steel tanks. The subsequent ageing at controlled temperature, also in steel, preserves the aromatic clarity and freshness of the fruit. At the table, it is the ideal companion for delicate starters, creamy risottos and lean fish dishes, as well as white meats and medium-aged cheeses.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 2001, the Rosset Terroir winery embodies the authentic heroic mountain viticulture through this fascinating Petite Arvine from the Aosta Valley. On the steep slopes of Monjovet, at an altitude of 600 metres, the vines grow on sandy soils following the strict principles of organic farming. A meticulous manual harvest at the end of September precedes a gentle pressing and expert maturation in steel, ideal production choices to preserve the vibrant mineral elegance of the palate. An artisanal white wine that fully embraces modern sustainability.

The story began to take shape in 2001, with the planting of the first three hectares of vineyard in the municipality of Saint-Christophe, just outside Aosta. The first varieties grown were Chardonnay, Syrah, and the native Cornalin. In just a few years, the estate expanded its vineyard surface and selected new, highly suited plots, where Muscat Blanc, Pinot Gris, and additional parcels of Syrah were also introduced.
A turning point came in 2017, when Rosset Terroir ventured beyond 900 meters above sea level, in the village of Villeneuve. On particularly steep slopes, in a context of heroic viticulture, the cultivation of the traditional Petite Arvine grape variety comes to life, from which the winery’s flagship wine is born: the Sopraquota 900, awarded in 2021 as Italy’s Best White Wine by Gambero Rosso ‘s Vini d’Italia guide and included in James Suckling’s Top 100 World Wines in 2024.
Today, Rosset Terroir manages around 13 hectares of vineyards and produces approximately 50,000 bottles per year, carefully selecting the region’s most promising plots and combining the expertise of seasoned technicians with modern, functional facilities. Read more
