Territory and wine style

The Valle d'Aosta DOP is one of the most suitable areas for mountain whites, thanks to vineyards located at high altitudes and a climate that favors thermal excursions and clear aromatic profiles. In this context, Les Cretes works with the Petite Arvine in purity, a white grape variety known for its saline imprint and expressive finesse. Vinification in steel enhances the varietal character and keeps the fresh, citrusy, and mineral profile of the wine intact.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a bright straw-yellow color, enriched by delicate greenish reflections. On the nose, it offers an elegant and fresh bouquet, with floral hints, notes of citrus, grapefruit, apple, and more exotic nuances. On the palate, it is balanced, soft yet well-supported by lively savoriness, with a marine and mineral sensation that accompanies the sip to a persistent and clean finish. The style is refined, smooth, and at the same time very characteristic.
