On the nose, it offers aromas of white flowers and orange blossom, combined with clear citrus notes of grapefruit, lime zest and light hints of tropical fruit. The palate is dry, \u003cstrong\u003etaut and vertical\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by a marked savouriness that ensures excellent length. This distinct mineral imprint translates into a fresh and dynamic sip, ideal for precisely accompanying \u003cstrong\u003efish and shellfish\u003c\/strong\u003e dishes, as well as delicate white meat dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine is born from rigorous \u003cstrong\u003eheroic viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e on the slopes of Cumiod in Villeneuve, Aosta Valley. The vines grow at altitudes between 880 and 925 metres, where the intense \u003cstrong\u003ediurnal temperature range\u003c\/strong\u003e between day and night preserves the aromatic clarity of the fruit. The rows enjoy a north-south orientation and sit on \u003cstrong\u003esandy and stony soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, rich in slate, granite and quartz. The high planting density, managed using the Guyot system, allows the yield per vine to be limited, promoting a solid vegetative balance and ensuring a distinct concentration of flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduction method\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with \u003cstrong\u003ehand-harvesting\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by cold skin maceration to extract its full aromatic potential. The must is divided into four batches: skin-contact fermentations take place in amphorae and terracotta jars, while the remaining portions mature in steel and \u003cstrong\u003ewooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, where malolactic fermentation occurs. After twelve months of separate ageing, the different portions are combined into a harmonious \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e that rests briefly in steel before bottling. This meticulous method gives the wine a remarkable structure, while preserving its natural tension and original freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRosset Terroir's Sopraquota 900 embodies the essence of the Aosta Valley's \u003cstrong\u003eheroic viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e, originating from Petite Arvine grapes grown at over 880 metres on steep, stony slopes.
