Descrizione

The Semel Pater Pinot Noir DOC by Maison Anselmet is one of the most fascinating interpretations of Pinot Noir in the Aosta Valley, a region known for its ability to express varietal richness in a unique Alpine context. With Semel Pater, Maison Anselmet captures the essence of this noble grape variety, presenting a wine that is both a tribute to tradition and a celebration of innovation.

Wine Profile: This Pinot Noir stands out for its delicate but deep ruby red color, a prelude to an olfactory and gustatory experience of notable elegance and complexity. On the nose, Semel Pater reveals a rich and layered bouquet, with notes of red fruits such as cherries and strawberries, intertwined with nuances of rose, wet earth and a subtle spicy accent, resulting from the aging in wood which adds depth without overpowering the fruit .

In the mouth, the wine shows extraordinary finesse, with silky tannins that blend into a medium body and a velvety texture. The well-balanced acidity gives freshness and liveliness, leading to a long and persistent finish, which leaves memories of delicate fruit and earthy notes, typical of the expression of Pinot Noir in a mountain environment.

Gastronomic Pairings: Semel Pater Pinot Noir DOC is incredibly versatile at the table, suitable for a variety of culinary pairings. It excels with delicate meat dishes such as roast duck, mushroom dishes, and goes well with medium-aged cheeses. Its elegance also makes it an excellent companion for more structured fish dishes, where its acidity and complexity can enrich the tasting experience.

Semel Pater is an authentic expression of Maison Anselmet's commitment to producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique character of the Aosta Valley terroir. Through the mastery of Pinot Noir winemaking, Maison Anselmet offers wine lovers a tasting experience that combines aromatic intensity and structural finesse, testifying to the versatility and excellence of the grape variety in the Aosta Valley.

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.
