About
Valle d'Aosta's everyday red and the heart of Torrette, grown along the sunny banks of the Dora Baltea. Violet-scented and juicy, with soft tannins and alpine freshness, it is the wine the valley pours with polenta and fontina. One of the oldest natives of the Aosta valley's oriou family of vines.
