Petite Arvine 'Fleur' Les Cretes 2025
Unusual grapesThe Petite Arvine "Fleur" is a medium intensity white wine, with a fruity and floral profile, vinified in steel and aged for 9 months on the fine lees. Fresh in aromas, with citrus and tropical notes, on the palate it is crisp and balanced, fresh and mineral, with good complexity.
The Petite Arvine “Fleur” is a white wine from the Valle d’Aosta identity and territorial. The Petite Arvine is indeed a grape native to Switzerland, which was introduced to this Italian region in the 1970s by the Institut della Valle d’Aosta, and which, since then, also thanks to its strong adaptability to high-altitude cultivation, has become one of the most interesting varieties of this territory. It is therefore hard to find a better interpreter than Les Cretes, the reference winery for the entire region, to bring to life a white wine with floral aromas and a refreshing sip. A bottle to taste without hesitation.
This “Fleur” Petite Arvine is made by the Les Cretes winery from pure grapes of a variety widely grown in Valle d’Aosta, the Petite Arvine. The vines of this variety grow within a vineyard composed of loose morainic soil, facing south and located at an altitude of about 500 meters above sea level. The grapes, once harvested, are softly pressed, fermenting for about 12 days in steel tanks. The process continues with aging, carried out on fine lees in steel for a total of 9 months, after which the wine is ready to be bottled.
The white Petite Arvine “Fleur” presents itself visually with a color reminiscent of the bright shade of straw yellow. The olfactory spectrum consists of essentially floral notes, enriched by more fruity and mineral aromas. On the palate, it is straightforward, clean, with a sip of good concentration, characterized by a pleasant fresh vein. A label that garners excellent scores, both nationally and internationally, confirming the Les Cretes winery as one of the most important wine realities in the entire Valle d’Aosta.
