Details:

A very limited amount of wine comes out of the Valle d' Aosta region of northwestern Italy. However, Valle d'Aosta offers a surprisingly diverse and rather eclectic variety of grapes, representing Italian, French, and Swiss varieties. While this array is already confusing, it becomes even more so given the labeling laws, which admit both varietal and geographic identification, as well as the usage of Italian and French. Also, Valle d'Aosta maintains its own unusual names for certain grapes: Nebbiolo goes by the name Picotendro and Pinot Grigio is referred to as Malvoisie.

I recently came across these two wines from Frères Grosjean that I believe are extraordinary wines, especially the Petite Arvine.

This is a terrific wine that will please anyone who enjoys authenticity and purity in a dry, tautly balanced white. It is clearly one of the best white wines that I have tasted all year. It is so good that I am tempted to keep it all for myself.

The grape is Petite Arvine, and this wine is super clean tasting, with bright acidity due to its mountain vineyard home. It shows notes of citrus fruit with a noticeable grapefruit profile and lots of minerality. When you serve it very cold, it's almost steely, but when it warms up, it opens up to reveal a richness and complexity that is quite unexpected. This wine is exceptionally good!!
