Maison Anselmet has demonstrated a unique ability to best express native and international grape varieties in the unique context of the Aosta Valley's alpine terroir, often with an approach that skillfully balances tradition and experimentation. A wine called "Le Prisonnier" represents a bold and distinctive wine expression, an innovative blend or monovarietal that captures the essence of a challenging or rare grape variety.

A wine with such an evocative name presents itself with an intense, deep color, which preludes an olfactory complexity rich in nuances. On the nose, "Le Prisonnier" offers a complex bouquet, with notes of red and black fruits, spicy and earthy accents, and perhaps a light touch of wood, resulting from a refinement designed to enrich the profile without overpowering it.

On the palate, this hypothetical wine is characterized by a robust structure, but balanced by a lively acidity which underlines its elegance and drinkability. The aromatic complexity is also reflected in the taste, with a range of flavors that echo the olfactory bouquet and lead to a persistent and satisfying finish.

"Le Prisonnier" is versatile at the table, suitable to accompany dishes of a certain structure and intensity of flavours, such as red meats, dishes based on wild mushrooms, mature cheeses and complex culinary preparations.
