More questions
The Cornalin Vallee d'Aoste DOP - Rosset is a refined wine that celebrates the uniqueness of the indigenous Cornalin grape, cultivated among the mountains of the alpine region. This territory, characterized by a cool climate and well-drained alpine soils, gives the wine a vibrant and complex personality. The Cornalin shows a lively ruby color and on the nose releases intense aromas of ripe red fruits, spicy notes, and a delicate minerality due to the mountain terroir.
The aging, generally carried out in wooden barrels, provides structure and softness, enhancing the elegant nuances of the wine. On the palate, it reveals itself to be elegant and harmonious, with gentle tannins and a lively freshness that enhances its drinkability. Ideal to accompany typical Valdostan dishes such as red meats and aged cheeses, it is an authentic expression of Valle d’Aosta and its wine heritage.

The story
The Rosset family began wine production in the early 2000s, planting their first vineyards in Senin and progressively expanding the winery through the acquisition of vineyards in several crus of the Aosta Valley. Over the years the estate has increased its presence in high-altitude vineyards and has complemented its winemaking with agricultural and distillery activities associated with the family group.
Production philosophy
The winery aims to express the identity of the alpine terroir through careful vineyard work, hand-harvesting and carefully calibrated vinification. In the cellar it uses a variety of vessels — stainless steel, barriques, tonneaux, amphorae and earthenware jars — to enhance aromatic precision and minerality, with an approach focused on sustainability and respect for the terroir.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in the Aosta Valley, the winery cultivates parcels on glacial soils with significant temperature variation; vineyards mentioned in sources are located between Saint-Christophe, Quart and areas above 900 metres, with exposures and slopes typical of alpine viticulture.

The winery is cited and reviewed in industry guides and publications; several product pages and online retailers include references to recognitions in national guides.
