Description
What kind of wine it is
Grosjean Pinot Noir Valle d’Aosta is a still red wine that expresses the mountain soul of Pinot Noir. Its sensory profile is balanced and smooth, with a dry sip and velvety tannins. On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet, characterised by clear notes of strawberry, raspberry and wild berries, enhanced by subtle toasted and balsamic nuances. On the palate, it shows excellent persistence, making it ideal for accompanying structured first courses, cheeses and grilled meats, especially pork.
Where it comes from
This red is produced in Valle d’Aosta, in the municipalities of Quart and Saint-Christophe, and is a prime example of heroic viticulture. The vines grow on steep slopes at high altitudes, enjoying excellent sun exposure. The sandy-loam soils, shallow and rich in mineral skeleton, give the wine a precise and dry character. The care of the vineyards reflects Grosjean's philosophy, focused on eco-sustainable management aimed at the total protection of the environment and local biodiversity.
How it is produced
The grapes are harvested by hand around mid-September. In the winery, a small proportion of whole bunches is added to the destemmed grapes, followed by temperature-controlled maceration with regular daily punch-downs. Fermentation takes place in large oak barrels. Maturation continues both in steel containers and through careful ageing in wooden barrels, which defines its aromatic structure. Finally, a period of rest in the bottle allows the wine to reach its final gustatory balance.
History and Curiosities
This Pinot Noir Valle d’Aosta DOC embodies the dedication of the Grosjean family, passionate winemakers since 1781. The result of genuine heroic viticulture, it is born from grapes grown on extreme slopes between 600 and 850 metres above sea level, in the municipalities of Quart and Saint-Christophe. Every glass reflects a deep connection with the environment, protected by sustainable practices that have excluded the use of insecticides since 1975. A true masterpiece created by a proud independent winemaker, able to translate the arduous Alpine challenges into a sip of extraordinary elegance.
