Rosset Terroir Valle d'Aosta DOP Pinot Gris 0,75 ℓ

What kind of wine is itThe wine produced by Rosset Terroir is a mountain white that reflects the unique characteristics of the Valle d’Aosta terroir. Made from Pinot Gris grapes, it shows a dry, fresh, and linear style that enhances the pure expression of the fruit. Its personality is defined by an aromatic profile centered on precise floral notes and scents of white-fleshed fruit, always supported by a distinctive acidity. The meticulous production process aims to preserve the varietal integrity and the wine’s natural expressive clarity.Where does it come fromThe viticulture behind this label has roots in the Valle d’Aosta, starting from the first vineyards planted in the Senin area of Saint-Christophe. Over time, the winery extended cultivation to higher elevations, tending mountain vineyards situated over nine hundred meters above sea level. The grapes are predominantly sourced from the areas of Cumiod and Villeneuve, where the harsh climate and significant temperature swings give the wine distinctive clarity and an authentically Alpine character.How it is madeAfter the high-altitude harvest, the grapes undergo a gentle pressing, a key step to extract only the most refined part of the must and avoid any unwanted elements. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, allowing for precise management of the temperature. This approach, continued throughout ageing, ensures the complete preservation of aromatic integrity and highlights the natural freshness that characterizes hillside grapes.Tasting notesWhen poured, the glass shines with a bright straw yellow color, typical of wines made without wooden contact. The bouquet opens with delicate aromas of white and yellow flowers, interwoven with clear notes of crisp white peach. The entry on the palate is pleasantly dry, guided by a well-integrated acidic structure that brings liveliness and smoothness to the drink. The progression closes with a precise finish, leaving a consistent fruity aftertaste on the palate.Food pairingThe pronounced acidity and overall cleanliness on the palate make it an ideal companion for aperitif time. At the table, it finds its natural place alongside delicate starters, where the floral nuances and white fruit tones accompany food without overpowering it. This wine also pairs particularly well with fresh cheeses, whose creaminess is perfectly balanced by the freshness of the glass, resulting in an enjoyable and harmonious combination.When to serve itThis wine is an excellent choice to enhance relaxed and convivial moments, especially during light meals. Its immediate and expressive nature makes it the right choice when you want a smooth, direct drink without compromising on quality. To fully highlight its aromatic fragrance and vibrant acidity, it is essential to serve it at a cool temperature, ensuring maximum enjoyment from the first to the last sip while preserving its linear character.
