The Torrette Supérieur DOC by Maison Anselmet is a wine that embodies the quintessence of Aosta Valley reds, celebrating the richness and complexity of the native vines of the Aosta Valley. This wine represents the pinnacle of expression of the traditional blend used for Torrette, mainly based on Petit Rouge, enriched by other local vines such as Fumin, Cornalin and Mayolet, which contribute to giving structure, depth and unique aromatic nuances.

Maison Anselmet, one of the region's leading wineries, is known for its ability to transform the exceptional Aosta Valley wine variety into wines of extraordinary quality. The meticulous care in the vineyard, the attention to detail in the cellar and the passion for the terroir are beautifully reflected in the Torrette Supérieur, which stands out for its elegance, balance and territorial identity.

Wine Profile: Torrette Supérieur has a deep and inviting ruby ​​red color. On the nose, it releases an intense bouquet of aromas, dominated by notes of ripe red and black fruits, such as blackberries, currants and a light trace of cherry, enriched by nuances of spices, black pepper, violet and a subtle hint of tobacco and leather, testifying to the complexity and aromatic stratification that the blend of native vines is capable of offering.

In the mouth, the wine demonstrates an extraordinary harmony between juicy fruit, well-structured tannins and vibrant acidity, which together give freshness, drinkability and a long tasting persistence. The passage in wood, discreet but effective, adds a further level of complexity, enriching the palate with elegant notes of vanilla and cocoa, without overpowering the fruity and mineral expression.

Gastronomic Pairings: The Torrette Supérieur DOC by Maison Anselmet is an extremely versatile wine at the table, capable of successfully accompanying a wide range of dishes. It goes perfectly with red meats, game, mushroom-based dishes, medium and long-aged cheeses and rich preparations of Alpine cuisine. Its structure and complexity also make it suitable for special occasions, where it can be the protagonist of a memorable meal.

This wine is a tribute to the winemaking heritage of the Aosta Valley and to the innovative vision of Maison Anselmet, which manages to capture the essence of the terroir in every bottle. The Torrette Supérieur represents a wonderful opportunity to explore the diversity and quality of Aosta Valley wines, offering a tasting experience that is both authentically local and universally appreciable.

Winery history

Production philosophy

In the cellar it seeks to express the terroir through targeted maturation techniques and differentiated productions, including limited editions.
Terroir and vineyards

Viticulture is often terraced and requires intensive manual labour.
