In Valle d'Aosta, Pinot Noir benefits from a terroir characterized by strong temperature variations between day and night and poor, stony soils, which contribute to concentrating the aromas in the grapes and developing notable acidity, key factors for the production of wines fresh, aromatic and with good aging potential. Cultivation at altitude also allows us to preserve the typical elegance and finesse of Pinot Noir.
