Valle D'Aosta Torrette Dop 2020 - Le Clocher

Description

We are located in the central basin of the Valley, a few kilometers from Aosta: here Danilo and his daughter Nicole lead the family business which boasts 4.5 hectares of vineyards and which produces about 35,000 bottles a year in 12 different labels.

Valle d'Aosta Torrette DO C is one of the reds they produce, made from 100% petit rouge grapes . Harmonious and dry, at the sight it has an intense ruby red color, on the nose with hints of wild rose, violet and unripe red fruits and in the mouth the long fruit returns, supported by a good body.

A lively but elegant red.

Why you should drink it

You should know that this red Valdostan grape is currently the type produced in greater quantities in the whole area.

Could this in itself be a good reason why it is worth trying?

For us, yes.

When to uncork it

You know that friend who calls you at 16:00 to invite you to an aperitif? The one with whom you already know to spend the rest of the evening with a couple of chatters and lighthearted laughter?

A couple of cold cuts, some cheese and away ... A simple moment, but of quality: just like this red.
