Tasting Notes

A smooth and darkly fruited alpine red from Italy's North.

Perfumed aromatics of wild rose, violet, and small red berry fruits.
Dark cherry and berry fruit in flavour, supported by dried herbs, and a touch of minerality that carries through to the finish.

Fresh and smoothly textured on the palate, dry and medium bodied, structured around well-integrated tannic backbone and a alpine-esque acid line.

Nerd Notes

Petit Rouge, with a small amount (10%) of an unnamed native red grape variety, from Valle d'Aosta, Italy.

Grown in the Cossan and La Rochère vineyards, at 670m and 580m altitude respectively, with rich fine gravel and sandy loam soils.

The grapes were harvested as two batched in the middle and end of September, destemmed, an then macerated on skins for 26 and 21 days, respectively, in temperature-controlled fermentation tanks.

Aged in stainless steel tanks for 8 months, bottled, with a further month in bottle before release.

Bottled with minimal added sulphur.
