Nebbiolo Sommet®

D.O.P

Nebbiolo, typical of Piedmont, has also always been present in Valle d’Aosta, where it is traditionally grown under the name Picotendro, in the alluvial valley floor of glacial origin in the vocated areas of Arnad and Issogne.

We are dedicated to the vinification of this historic variety to enhance the mountain identity, thus our Nebbiolo ‘Sommet,’ which means ‘summit’ in French, in honor of the mountains that cradle its vineyards, comes to life.
