Petite Arvine 2022 VALLE D’AOSTA DOC by Ottin

The Petite Arvine 2022 by Ottin is an authentic mountain white, expressive and with great personality, designed to best tell the story of one of the most iconic grape varieties of the Valle d’Aosta. It is a wine that combines energy, finesse, and aromatic depth, with a clear stylistic signature: tasting tension, freshness, and a pronounced savory imprint that makes it immediately recognizable.

Territory and wine style

Produced in the Valle d’Aosta DOC, this wine comes from 100% Petite Arvine grapes grown in high-altitude vineyards, on morainic and sandy soils, in a mountainous context that promotes aromatic precision and great momentum on the palate. The south-facing exposure and altitude contribute to slow and balanced ripening, while the work in the winery aims to preserve the natural expressiveness of the grape variety. The choice of aging in steel and the absence of malolactic fermentation maintain the wine's profile tense, clean, and vertical, with a fresh and contemporary character.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense straw-yellow color, enriched by golden reflections. On the nose, aromas of citrus, fresh tropical fruit, and ripe grapefruit emerge, accompanied by nuances of wet fern, dew, salt, ginger, and white pepper. On the palate, the Petite Arvine 2022 shows a tense and deep sip, supported by marked salinity and vibrant freshness. The structure is present but always measured, with an elegant progression and a persistent, mineral, and dynamic finish.

Recommended pairings

It is a wine that shines with flavorful and refined dishes: baked fish, seafood crudo, shellfish, tartare, seafood risottos, and preparations based on seasonal vegetables. Its freshness also makes it interesting with medium-aged cheeses, dishes from alpine cuisine, and recipes with a delicate yet assertive aromatic profile. The Petite Arvine 2022 balances both Mediterranean cuisine and mountain specialties.

Serving temperature

Serve the Petite Arvine 2022 at 12° - 14° C, to best enhance its aromas, tension, and minerality. It does not require long aeration, but a few minutes in the glass can help open up the more complex scents.
