Les Cretes

Les Cretes: mountain wines from the Aosta Valley

The collection Les Cretes gathers some of the most authentic expressions of viticulture from the Aosta Valley, a unique alpine territory where altitude, temperature variations, and mountain soils shape wines with a precise and identifiable profile. The Les Crêtes winery, a family-run business founded in 1955, interprets this context with an elegant and contemporary style, enhancing both indigenous grapes and international varieties grown at high altitudes.

In this selection, you will find refined whites, characterful reds, and bottles designed for those seeking territorial wines that are recognizable and capable of telling the more vertical soul of the Italian Alps.

The wines of Les Crêtes: elegance, freshness, and complexity

Among the featured labels, the Chardonnay stands out, including the Cuvée Bois versions, the Petite Arvine, the Fumin, the Syrah, and the precious Neige d’Or. The range well illustrates the versatility of Les Cretes, capable of combining immediacy and depth, alpine freshness and structure, with wines suitable for both everyday dining and more refined occasions.

The Chardonnay Cuvée Bois expresses a broader and more complex interpretation of the grape variety, while the Petite Arvine tells the story of one of the iconic whites of the Aosta Valley, known for its tasting tension and aromatic finesse.
