2023 Valle d’Aosta Torrette
Château Feuillet
As with Manni Nössing, who lives mere miles from the Austrian border and whose first language is German, Château Feuillet inhabits a corner of Italy bordering France and Switzerland where many of the town, family, and grape names—as well as one of the two official languages—are French. The starring varieties in this Torrette, however (mostly Petit Rouge with a splash of Mayolet), have no counterparts in France. This uniquely Valdostano red is characterized by a charming freshness and a spicy, red-berry core. Pour it alongside a mushroom risotto with Fontina, the creamy Valle d’Aosta cheese, for a sublime regional pairing.

2019 Valle d’Aosta Moscato Bianco
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
A one-of-a-kind, high-altitude, fully dry Moscato. Bright fruit and granitic minerality in an utterly thirst-quenching package.

2022 Valle d’Aosta Fumin
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
Fumin truly is, as Feuillet’s vigneron Maurizio Fiorano puts it, “an age-old pearl of local enology.”

2022 Valle d’Aosta Cornalin
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
This rare red variety has a straightforward freshness and light herbal spiciness.

2022 Valle d’Aosta Rosso Torrette Supérieur
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
The grapes are dried for several days after harvest, then pressed and aged in barrel to give an equally lively red with a bit more guts and bass notes.

Great winemakers, great terroirs, there is never any hurry. And I no longer buy into this idea of “peak” maturity. Great winemakers, great terroirs, their wines offer different pleasures at different ages.
