2021 Valle d’Aosta Rosso “Torrette Supérieur”

Château Feuillet

Discount Eligible $37.00
AT CART MAX

The Torrette denomination designates reds made primarily from the Petit Rouge grape, grown high in the mountains of Valle d’Aosta in the shadow of Monte Bianco. Typically, these wines are light, floral, and teeming with energy, but here we have a slightly different creature. To create this Torrette Supérieur, 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. Feuillet’s rendition features whiffs of cracked pepper, bursting wild forest berries, and crunchy mountain minerals. There is nothing else quite like it.

Sampling wine out of the barrel.

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.
