2021 Valle d’Aosta “Moscato Bianco”
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
A one-of-a-kind, high-altitude, fully dry Moscato. Bright fruit and granitic minerality in an utterly thirst-quenching package.
2021 Valle d’Aosta Torrette
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
True to the region, it has exuberant, piquant fruit, both peppery and floral throughout.
2021 Valle d’Aosta Rosso “Torrette Supérieur”
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
The grapes are dried for several days after harvest, then pressed and aged in barrel to give an equally lively red with a bit more guts and bass notes.
2021 Valle d’Aosta Traminer Aromatico
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
The nose is floral, but these are surely mountain wildflowers, and the palate is perfectly crisp and quenching.

2021 Valle d’Aosta Fumin

Sampler Includes:
2022 Valle d’Aosta Moscato Bianco $35
Raised in stainless steel, Moscato produces aromas that are fiercely locked into this bottling. Honeyed, yet bone-dry, it has a hint of chestnut and would be as charming for an apéritif as with a cheese or dessert course.
2022 Valle d’Aosta Traminer Aromatico $35
Expressive and pedigreed Feuillet’s Traminer might be the white Burgundy equivalent of the bunch. It spends some time on its lees, giving it a rounder mouthfeel. Pair it with fattier fish or slices of salty speck.
2022 Valle d’Aosta Petite Arvine $37
A grape of Swiss origin, Petite Arvine is a versatile white, persistent in length with a mouthwatering and crystalline minerality. It soaks up the sun but maintains a flinty edge.
2021 Valle d’Aosta Rosso Torrette Superieur $37
A bright and plummy wine with a velvety texture, made from the native Petit Rouge variety. Serve this beauty with bolder fare in need of a refreshing companion.
2022 Valle d’Aosta Rosso Cornalin $38
A spicy, smoky red with rustic undertones, Cornalin has pretty black fruit and is a great match for well-seasoned sausages and other charred meats.
2021 Valle d’Aosta Rosso Fumin $43
A robust and pleasantly tannic rosso, Fumin has a floral quality with a bit of a bite—similar to peppery Syrahs of the northern Rhône.
Normally $225.00

Kermit once said...
When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:
1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
