Notes: the grapes that make up our Rosé come from several clones of indigenous variety grown in old vineyards which contribute to its remarkable organoleptic complexity. These vineyards have always been used for the production of Torrette, the oldest DOC in the Aosta Valley, which we decided to use for the first time for the production of a rosè.
