Torrette is a DOC appellation from Aosta for red wines made of at least 70% Petit rouge, and other red grape varieties, native to Aosta. It can be called “superiore” if it ages for at least 8 months.
This wine is a blend of 90% Petit Rouge and 10% Fumin. Petit Rouge brings the acidity and freshness. The Fumin softens the austerity of the Petit Rouge and adds both body and tannins.
"Intense aromas of rose laced with ripe red fruit, light smoke and spice. Velvety texture and smooth tannins, with a long persistence. From family estate La Source, high in Italy’s mountainous Valle d’Aosta."
It is hard to imagine a more exciting or varied wine-producing country than Italy. With a vibrant winemaking history spanning over 2,000 years, and vineyards stretching from the Alps through the Appenine mountains to Sicily, the Italian peninsula is home to an enormous range of climates, topographies and soil typeshosting hundreds of distinctive grapes unique to Italy.
