From: Valle d'Aosta, Italy
Varietal: Petite Arvine
The Valle d’Aosta’s steep granite slopes near Monte Bianco are among the world’s most impressive vineyards in the context of man vs. nature. Germany’s Mosel and France’s Haute-Savoie come to mind, as well. These vines are literally clinging to mountainsides.
Tasting Notes: Delivers a wonderfully aromatic white with a pleasant fleshiness to go along with the bracing, saline finish that cleanses the palate like a gurgling mountain stream. –Dixon Brooke
Pairing: Pairs well with white fish.
