Petite Arvine Valle d'Aosta DOC - Les Cretes is a white wine made from one of the most prized native varieties of the Aosta Valley: Petite Arvine. This variety, originally from Switzerland, has adapted perfectly to the alpine climate of the region, producing fresh, mineral wines. Les Cretes' vineyards are located in particularly sunny areas at altitudes above 600 meters, where the well-drained morainic soils contribute to the wine's finesse and complexity. The grapes are hand-harvested, then undergo a delicate vinification process in stainless steel to preserve the freshness and aromatic expression typical of the variety.

PETITE ARVINE VALLE D'AOSTA DOC - LES CRETES: Tasting Notes

The wine appears in the glass with a brilliant straw yellow color, enhanced by greenish reflections. On the nose, Les Cretes' Petite Arvine expresses lively freshness, with hints of citrus, green apple, and light herbal notes like thyme and sage, complemented by a delicate minerality. On the palate, the wine is dry and sapid, with a pleasant liveliness that encourages the next sip. The structure is elegant, with a long finish that recalls nuances of fresh fruit and a bitter almond aftertaste. Perfect as an aperitif, it pairs wonderfully with fish dishes, shellfish, and fresh cheeses.
