| Production zone |
The vine has been cultivated in the Aosta
Valley since the Roman period or perhaps even earlier: the
physical layout of the valley favors the cultivation of
vines because the mountains tend to block or turn aside the
coldest winds, thereby creating suitable microclimates in
which grapes have flourished since the remotest times. |

Gris Pinot, and red and white grapes authorized or
recommended for the region |
| Ageing |
Six months |
