"Bright peach-pink colour with a sparkling core. Very fruity nose of rich plums, cherries, then some marzipan in the aftertaste. On the palate with a top note, supple, with fine flavours of dried rosemary, fine saltiness in the final, stands out somewhat from the sea of rosé, a welcome change." Falstaff

The grapes for this fresh and very complex Pinot Grigio come from a single vineyard at an altitude of approx. 700m with a western exposure; only 3,200 bottles are bottled each year. This Pinot Grigio reflects both the alpine terroir and the clear varietal identity. Bright straw yellow, floral nose of lime, hawthorn and herbs.

On the nose, ripe dark fruits, sweet spices and toasted oak. On the full palate, the character, terroir and elegance of the Les Cretes style are on full display, especially in the refined way tannins and fruit form a symbiosis. SUPERIORE.DE

Fumin with a great aroma of red fruits, black pepper and tobacco, dark fruity on the palate, very well structured and with a persistent balsamic finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2019 Fumin embodies the soul of alpine wine, with a peppery array of sage, rosemary and mint giving way to rose petals and hints of camphor. It’s finessed yet full of life, cascading citrus-tinged red berries across a core of minerals and vibrant acidity. The 2019 finishes remarkably clean yet perfumed, with a lingering tension of sour berries. What a darling, but it will be best enjoyed served alongside a meal." Vinous

"Le Merle" is named after the Merlot-loving blackbirds that compete with the harvest workers during the grape harvest. Eleonora and Elena Charrère deliberately decided to grow Merlot, a very rare variety in the region, of international origin, in order to challenge the terroir on the one hand and to create a wine of great consistency and richness on the other.

Bright ruby red. A cornucopia of small black fruits, cranberries and blackberry jam on the nose, with floral notes of violets and roses. Tasty spices enhance the flavourful experience on the palate, closing softly with notes of roasted cocoa. Very successful alpine interpretation of the grape variety. SUPERIORE.DE

SUPERIORE.DE

Fleur is the family winery's second top white wine and a single-varietal Petite Arvine from the Vigna Devin Ros vineyard: bright light yellow in colour with an elegant, floral-mineral bouquet and notes of ripe apples and apricots. Clear, balanced flavour, refined body and harmonious finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Chamomile, sliced apples, wild herbs and oyster shells on the nose. Fresh, dense and beautifully structured, with a full body and excellent density. Minerality of gravel on the finish." James Suckling

Pinot Nero Revei, which means clock in the local dialect, is linked to the history of the medieval tower that dominates the vineyard in Aymavilles. The tower was once home to a reclusive clockmaker, whose profession brought back the theme of time and its value in nature and for mankind.

The mere 1,800 bottles (per vintage) of Revei are the result of great experience and patience. Time plays a fundamental role in its production, maturation and ageing. It begins with the harvest of optimally ripened grapes and ends with 18 months of refinement in 700 litre wooden barrels and subsequent bottle ageing in the winery's cellars. Brilliant ruby red colour. Fruity and beguiling nose of ripe red berries and a delicate hint of cocoa. Juicy, pleasantly acidic on the palate, with a fine structure and velvety tannins. Impressive depth and length! SUPERIORE.DE

"Full-bodied pinot showing plums, cherry stones, hazelnuts and sweet spices on the nose. It’s creamy and polished, with relatively firm but nicely integrated tannins." James Suckling

Sommet means peak, i.e. the view of the mountains behind the vineyards. The Nebbiolo biotype, which is found in the southern alluvial valley of glacial origin, brings the winery back to the origins of viticulture in the Aosta Valley. Sommet was born from the desire to vinify and enhance a traditional grape variety. The result is a wine of great character and cool sophistication, a precise interpretation of the grape variety under the strong influence of the pre-alpine terroir.
