Description
Aosta-Valley
Aosta Valley

Surrounded by Piedmont in the south and east, French Alps in the west, Swiss Valais in the north, Aosta Valley is the smallest, least populous, and least densely populated region of Italy.
The region is renowned for the quality of its local salamis and meats giving rise to specialities such as carbonada, a dish composed of stewed meat wine, onions and spices. The cheeses are equally famous.
Home to Europe’s highest elevated vineyards, Valle d’Aosta is Italy’s smallest winemaking region both in terms of size and production.
Claiming an impressive list of autochthonous varieties, the region has also many grapes from France. Not surprisingly, wine labels are often written in Italian and French.

It currently manages 25 hectares of vineyards in six villages. With a production of 220,000 bottles per year, Les Crêtes is the largest private company operating in the Aosta valley region.
Les Crêtes produces its wines in a very specific context, characterized by high mountains, sandy slopes and alpine temperatures.
