The magnum format of Maison Anselmet's "Le Prisonnier", presented in a 1.5 liter bottle, is an ideal choice for special occasions, offering not only a larger volume of wine but also optimized aging potential. Wines in magnum format tend to evolve more slowly, thanks to the reduced ratio between wine and oxygen, allowing a more complex and nuanced maturation over time.

"Le Prisonnier" is an expression of one or more characteristic vines of the Aosta Valley, it has a deep and inviting color, with an olfactory complexity that reflects the diversity of the Alpine territory. Notes of ripe fruit, spices, floral and mineral accents dominate the bouquet, with wood maturation adding complexity and structure without overpowering the freshness and purity of the fruit.

In the mouth, "Le Prisonnier" in magnum format offers an extraordinary depth and concentration of flavors, with well-integrated tannins and acidity that enhance its freshness and gustatory persistence. The balance between power and elegance is the signature of Maison Anselmet, which is dedicated to creating wines that are faithful expressions of their environment of origin.

A wine of the complexity and structure of "Le Prisonnier" pairs perfectly with rich and tasty dishes, such as grilled red meats, game, truffle-based dishes and mature cheeses. Its presence at the table, especially in a celebratory format such as the magnum, adds a touch of elegance and conviviality to the occasion.

Distribution through national operators; international recognition.
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.
