2021 Valle d’Aosta Rosso “Torrette Supérieur”
Château Feuillet
Torrette is an appellation made predominantly from Petit Rouge, another local grape that gives a very dark, fruity, and crunchy red wine. Maurizio typically blends in some of the native Mayolet for texture in his regular Torrette bottling, which he raises in stainless steel tanks. For this version, he dries the Petit Rouge grapes briefly, then ages the resulting wine in large casks. Despite this treatment, it remains fresh and vigorous—a gripping, delightfully complex mountain red that makes a hauntingly delicious match for Fontina cheese!

For the wines that I buy I insist that the winemaker leave them whole, intact. I go into the cellars now and select specific barrels or cuvées, and I request that they be bottled without stripping them with filters or other devices. This means that many of our wines will arrive with a smudge of sediment and will throw a more important deposit as time goes by, It also means the wine will taste better.
