This exceptional Chardonnay Cuvèe Bois, produced by the renowned Les Cretes estates in Valle d'Aosta, represents a sublime expression of one of the most appreciated grape varieties in the world, magnificently adapted to the unique terroir of this mountainous region. With the Valle d'Aosta DOP designation, this wine is the result of a careful selection of the finest Chardonnay grapes, matured under the Alpine sun and caressed by the cool mountain breezes.
The winemaking process begins with fermentation in French oak barriques, followed by a maturation period of about 10 months in the same wood, with frequent batonnage that enriches the wine with complexity and structure. The result is a Chardonnay with remarkable taste depth, perfectly balanced between aromatic richness and lively acidity.
Visually, the Cuvèe Bois presents a bright golden color, which anticipates its intense olfactory qualities. On the nose, it exhibits seductive aromas of white-fleshed fruits such as peach and pear, enriched by nuances of vanilla and toasting from the wood. The influence of the oak is evident but never dominating, allowing the natural flavors of the Chardonnay to shine.
On the palate, the wine offers a creamy texture and a medium-full body, supported by a fresh minerality that recalls the rocks of the mountains from which it originates. The finish is long and lingering, with echoes of ripe fruit and a delicate imprint of butter and sweet spices.
Perfect as an aperitif, the Chardonnay Cuvèe Bois is also ideal paired with refined dishes such as seafood risotto or white meats in a creamy sauce. A wine that continues to evolve in the glass, promising a continuous discovery with each sip.
