The vineyard

Located on the hill of Aosta in the Moncenis area at an altitude of 750 m above sea level, it faces south-east, has an average slope of 50% and is arranged on banks. The soil of morainic origin has a sufficient supply of nutritional elements and organic substance, a sandy-loam texture and a richness in skeleton which guarantee a moderate drainage of rainwater. The vines belonging to the Gamay variety (100%) are trained using a simple Guyot system with a planting density of 6,000 vines/hectare.

From grapes to wine

The grapes harvested in the third ten days of September were destemmed and left to macerate for 18 days in fermenters at a controlled temperature. The automated pump-over system, for sprinkling the must-wine onto the marc cap, has made it possible to optimize the management of winemaking based on the fermentation strength. The racking was followed by three decantings. The refinement took place in steel tanks for 7 months and for at least one month in the bottle. Production: 2,000 bottles.

Wine characteristics and pairings
