WINE DESCRIPTION
Château Feuillet Petite Arvine is produced by Maurizio Fiorano, who founded the estate in 1997. Here, Petite Arvine takes center stage. This lesser known variety is characterized by its bracing acidity and citrus-led palate. This wine hails from the alpine Valle d'Aosta region, located in the northwest corner of Italy. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats and is aged for around 3 months in inert vessels prior to bottling. The resulting wine is a pure expression of Petite Arvine, highlighting the variety's vibrancy and freshness.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Château Feuillet Petite Arvine has a pale straw core fading to a water-white rim.The nose is delicate and mineral-driven, with aromas of citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, along with hints of white flowers. The palate is lean and taut, with a lively acidity that perfectly balances the wine's fruitiness and provides freshness. This wine showcases a delightful combination of citrus notes, including lemon zest and juicy grapefruit, complemented by a touch of under-ripe tropical fruit, such as green pineapple. There is also a distinct mineral character that adds complexity and complements the citrusy finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: Château Feuillet
Region: Aosta Valley
Nestled in the Italian Alps, Aosta Valley is Italy's most northern wine region. Located in the northwest corner of the country, the region is bordered by Switzerland and France and is home to some of the highest vineyards in Europe. With a long history of winemaking, Aosta Valley is known for its unique terroir and high-quality wines.
Aosta Valley has a long history of winemaking, with evidence of viticulture dating back to the Roman Empire. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Aosta became part of the Kingdom of Burgundy and was then ruled by the royal family of Italy – the House of Savoy – until the Italian unification in 1861.CUSTOMER RATING
