Torrette Vigna Rovettaz 2017 Vallée d’Aoste DOC Grosjean

Torrette Vigna Rovettaz 2017, authentic expression of the Vallée d’Aoste DOC

The Torrette Vigna Rovettaz 2017 by Grosjean is a red wine from Valle d'Aosta with great personality, obtained from a traditional blend led by Petit Rouge with contributions from Fumin, Cornalin, and Premetta. It comes from a single vineyard in the municipality of Quart and accurately tells the story of mountain viticulture: careful harvesting, balance between freshness and structure, marked territorial imprint, and a clean style, consistent with the winery's organic philosophy.

Territory and wine style

The Vigna Rovettaz is located in a hilly area exposed to the south and southwest, with significant slopes and a soil rich in skeleton, very sandy and moderately calcareous. These conditions favor grapes with good aromatic concentration and a natural tasting tension, characteristics found in the Torrette Vigna Rovettaz 2017. The vinification with skin maceration and aging in concrete tanks gives an essential, straightforward, and territorial profile, without excess wood or superstructures.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense and bright ruby red. The bouquet is clear and enveloping, with hints of ripe berries, violet, wild rose, and delicate nuances of sweet spices. On the palate, the wine shows good coherence between the fruity component, mineral vein, and balanced freshness, with tannins present but well integrated. The sip is harmonious, smooth, and persistent, capable of uniting immediacy and complexity in a typically alpine style.

Recommended pairings

The Torrette Vigna Rovettaz 2017 pairs naturally with main courses of red meats, roasts, not overly rich braises, light game, and poultry. It also works well with traditional mountain cuisine preparations, stews, mushrooms, and medium-aged cheeses, thanks to its freshness and measured tannic structure.

Serving temperature

To fully appreciate it, serve the Torrette Vigna Rovettaz 2017 at a temperature of 16-18°C. If the bottle has been stored for a long time in a cool environment, it may be helpful to open it a few minutes in advance to enhance the aromatic expression, without the need for a decanter unless preferred.
