Nebbiolo Sommet®
D.O.P.
The Nebbiolo, typical of Piemonte, has always been part of the Valle d'Aosta viticultural scene. Its name here is Picotendro and is planted maily in the alluvial area of Arnad and Issogne. We pride ourselves in the care and preservation of its alpine identity, named Sommet because of the sorrounding chain of mountains.
