The sloping land and the difficulties encountered while looking after and maintaining the vineyards has not discouraged the local ‘ vignerons’, who have created prestigious wines that are recognised and appreciated even by experts. There is an important selection of whites , with fruity scents and a dry, full flavour that distinguishes and characterises them. Worth tasting, the fresh, aromatic Chardonnay produced along the Dora Baltea or ‘ Muller Thurgau ’, well balanced wines with an intense and aromatic aroma;‘ Petite Arvine ’, a fine, fruity wine with hints of exotic fruit and grapefruit,   bursting with warm, sapid aromas; the classic ‘ Pinot Gris ’, which in Valle d’Aosta takes on intense aromas, almost being spicy (excellent aperitif).

There is wide range of famous DOC reds , plenty of which come from local vines: these wines are intense and blend well with mountain specialities. We would like to mention ‘ Fumin’ , with pleasant sensations of flavour and classified as the “old pearl of Valdostane oenology”; ‘ Gamay ’, with a dry flavour and tannic hints, produced using vines originally from Beaujolais; ‘ Petit Rouge ’, a much appreciated local “gem”, scented with dog rose and violet (same vines as Torrette and Enfer d’Arvier); ‘ Pinot Noir ’, a vigourous and lingering wine, to be tasted with typical mountain products such as Motzetta; or ‘ Premetta ’, a natural rosè that is dry, fresh and very pleasant.
