2022 Valle d’Aosta Rosso Torrette Supérieur
Château Feuillet
Torrette is an appellation made predominantly from Petit Rouge, another local grape that gives a very dark, fruity, and crunchy red wine. Maurizio typically blends in some of the native Mayolet for texture in his regular Torrette bottling, which he raises in stainless steel tanks. For this version, he dries the Petit Rouge grapes briefly, then ages the resulting wine in large casks. Despite this treatment, it remains fresh and vigorous—a gripping, delightfully complex mountain red that makes a hauntingly delicious match for Fontina cheese!

Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
