Winery history

Documented evidence of the Anselmet family's presence in the vineyards dates back to the 16th century; the shift toward organized winemaking took place in the late 1970s with Renato Anselmet, from whom the modern estate took shape and developed over subsequent generations.

Production philosophy

The estate favors high-altitude, mountain viticulture, with hand-tended vineyards, minimal agronomic interventions and the selection of grape varieties based on the pedoclimatic characteristics of each individual plot. In the cellar it seeks to express the terroir through targeted maturation techniques and differentiated productions, including limited editions.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are concentrated in the so-called Central Valley of the Aosta Valley, on morainic soils exposed on the left-hand side of the Dora Baltea, with parcels ranging from approximately 550 to over 900 metres above sea level and across an area stretching from Avise to Chambave. Viticulture is often terraced and requires intensive manual labour.

Awards and recognitions

The winery has received national and international recognition over the years; among the awards listed online are mentions and medals in competitions such as the Decanter World Wine Awards.
