Made with \u003cstrong\u003ePetit Rouge\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, it perfectly represents the intermediate style between white and red: the typical freshness of white wines combined with the delicate structure of light reds.\nIt is a rosé that speaks of territory, altitude, and that aromatic purity that only Aosta Valley can offer.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2024 vintage in Aosta Valley was characterized by a balanced climate: a mild winter, a cool and ventilated summer, and a dry autumn. These conditions favored a slow and complete maturation of the grapes, ensuring clear aromas, good natural acidity, and a moderate alcohol content. The harvest, carried out manually at the end of September, ensured a contained yield but of excellent quality.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe \u003cstrong\u003eValle d'Aosta Rosé DOP 2024 - Les Crêtes\u003c\/strong\u003e is made with a delicate winemaking process: the grapes are destemmed and left in contact with the skins for about three hours, a brief \u003cem\u003emaceration\u003c\/em\u003e that serves to extract color and a minimal part of tannins, while maintaining the typical lightness of rosés.\nThis is followed by fermentation in steel for about 12 days at a controlled temperature to preserve the fragrance of the aromas. The wine then ages for two months on the \u003cem\u003efine lees\u003c\/em\u003e – small yeast residues that settle naturally – to develop greater roundness and aromatic complexity.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIt presents a pale cherry pink, clear and brilliant, with delicate coppery nuances that anticipate the freshness and transparency of its style.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the nose, it expresses refined aromas of small red fruits – wild strawberry, raspberry, and pomegranate – accompanied by light floral notes and a hint of citrus. The bouquet is clear, played on purity and freshness.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIn the mouth, it is \u003cstrong\u003elively and harmonious\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a lean and smooth sip.
