Petit Rouge has a black berry colour and has aromas of redcurrants and a spicy, fruity taste. Its fruit-forward profile makes it one of the most widespread varieties of the Valle d’Aosta.
It is cultivated mainly between Saint-Vincent and Arvier, in particular in Aymavilles, Saint-Pierre and Villeneuve, in north west Italy. It is a late ripening variety, and its varietal wines tend to have aromas of redcurrants and a spicy, fruity taste. Petit Rouge is the most important grape variety of the Valle d’Aosta in Italy’s far north west, and it contributes at least 70% of the blend. It also contributes to a lesser extent to the Nus Rouge and Chambave Rouge DOCs. Petit Rouge pairs well with a variety of dishes, such as charcuterie, salmon, and grilled meats.
