WINE DESCRIPTION
Grosjean Torrette is a red wine produced by the Grosjean family in the Valle d'Aosta region of Italy. The wine is primarily made from the indigenous grape variety Petit Rouge, grown in the high-altitude vineyards of the Torrette appellation. The vineyards are characterized by steep slopes and rocky soils, which contribute to the wine's unique minerality and complexity. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is medium-bodied with bright acidity and flavors of red fruit, herbs, and spices. Grosjean Torrette is a perfect example of the high-quality wines that can be produced in this lesser-known region of Italy.
