"A noble and delicate grape variety which, it is said, was already cultivated on our territories in the days when Aosta Valley belonged to the KIngdom of Burgundy, and that gives the best results in our mountains when planted on levels ranging between 600 and 850 metres, where day/night thermic excursion and exposition to sun produce perfectly healthy and ripe grapes.

"We obtain this well bodied and balanced wine from 100% Pinot Noir Grapes. It features a ruby color tending to garnet, complex and persistent nose with hints of wild berries, balanced in the mouth, soft with dry taste and good alcohol content, slightly tannic."
