The wines of Les Crêtes: Passion, Tradition and Innovation in the Mountains
Our label: the heroic expression of the Alps in the bottle
Striking and minimal, it expresses our connection with the territory of our mountains, that is made up of steep slopes and some of the highest Alpine peaks, from which we derive our company name, Les Crêtes, in French. It's metal lining, defines the depth of the valleys modelled by the glaciers. The silver and copper reflections, represent the brightness of our sun.
The vineyards, that are lightly sketched at the top of the peaks, to evoke the incision practiced onto the natural environment. And at base of these, the Wine Refuge and our winery to remind us of the heroic conditions in which we work, allowing us to preserve the traditionally limited production of the alpine area.
The experience of a family that, with passion, has been able to enhance the mountain wines of the Aosta Valley
The company Les Crêtes was founded in 1989 in Aymavilles (Aosta Valley), by Costantino Charrère and is now managed by his family who, owner of a historic water mill from the 18th century and the old wineries in Via Moulins, has been producing food for five generations.
