Torrette Superiore

D.O.P

Torrette is the largest area D.O.C. in the Aosta Valley, from which the wine of the same name is made. Vinified with a predominantly Petit Rouge (a native variety) base, it is the most widely and traditionally consumed native wine in the region.

Torrette acquires the Superior designation because of the long aging it requires.
