Petite Arvine Rosset 2021

The Petite Arvine Rosset is a soft and fresh white wine with a distinct mineral tone. The history of the Rosset winery began in 2001 and today the estate has 12 hectares of vineyards scattered along the course of the Dora Baltea river in the Alps of the Aosta Valley. In particular, the Petite Arvine vineyards destined for this bottle are located in Montjovet, in the lower Aosta Valley. As well as constantly striving for quality, Rosset is committed to production sustainability and in fact all the energy consumed in the cellar comes from renewable sources, in particular photovoltaic panels.
Rosset Petite Arvine is a pure expression of the eponymous white grape variety cultivated on sandy soils at an altitude of 600 metres. Harvesting is done by hand towards the end of September and the bunches are then subjected to a gentle pressing, with the resulting must fermenting in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The subsequent maturation phase also takes place in stainless steel and continues for several months before final bottling.
On visual inspection, the Petite Arvine from the Rosset winery expresses a brilliant straw-yellow hue. The aromatic spectrum offers fruity and floral aromas of apple, peach and jasmine, enhanced by refined mineral hints and fresh sensations of lemon peel. Fresh and balanced taste development, characterised by incisive minerality and strong mineral accents accompanying the persistent finish. The producer's recommendation is to serve this Petite Arvine at a temperature of 8-10 °C, pairing it with various hors d'oeuvres, seafood dishes, creamy risottos or light to medium-aged cheeses.
