Rosé Valle D'aosta DOP Rosé Valle d'Aosta DOP Les Cretes – Valle d'Aosta Why We Chose This Wine When we promoted the Rose packs last summer, we were surprised by the customers' interest and became enthusiastic about continuing our search for unique Rosés to add to our selections. As we were packing the rosé wines at the shipping warehouse last year, an employee creeped over and handed us a bottle from Les Cretes. He whispered in my ear that THIS is the best rosé ever and loyal customers travel from all over the world to buy these wines in Valle d'Aosta. We didn't hesitate to open it that same night and loved the minerally fresh flavors coming from this Northern Alpine wine. The idea to introduce a new and lesser known wine producing region to the club really excited us and we hope you feel the same! Petit Rouge is thought to be native to this region and is usually used as a blending grape to add aromas and color. Hopefully you will feel the crisp flavors coming from Piemonte's neighboring Alps and enjoy this refreshing wine! Winemaking 3 hours of whole cluster cold refrigerated maceration. 12 day fermentation in stainless steel with 2 months of aging on the lees. Tasting Notes Delicate floral nose with red fruits like strawberry and cranberry. Crisp on palate with white peach, nice structure and acidity and the signature salty finish. Pairing Appetizers, finger foods, sushi, shellfish. GRAPE VARIETALS Petit Rouge (indigenous red variety) and Pinot Noir from old heirloom clones. BOTTLES PRODUCED 550 cases VINEYARD LOCATION The grapes are found in the vineyards of Sarre, the historical vocational area of the Torrette, with south exposure, in the vineyards of Aymavilles and Gressan. AGE OF VINES 20+ Years Old AGING POTENTIAL Drink SERVING TEMPERATURE 10-15°C/50-54°F Langhe Rossese Bianco DOC Giovanni Manzone – Monforte d'Alba Why We Chose This Wine The talented and down to earth Manzone family is still under the radar in Monforte. Their Barolos are fantastic but there is one surprising white wine that stands out! Rossese Bianco's roots have been traced back to Cinque Terre and its plantings eventually spread all the way up the Ligurian coast and inland to Piemonte. The Barolo village of Monforte d'Alba seems to have been the perfect spot for this grape in the late 19th century. In the 70s,a handful of winemakers like Manzone started to take the grape seriously and make delicious wines from this rare grape varietal. In Piemonte, the vines were so old and the history was so long that it was recognized as an official Piemontese grape varietal. In 2011 it was granted the official Langhe Rossese Bianco DOC status. There are only approximately 25 acres total of this grape cultivated in Piemonte! The name can be confusing because it sounds like a “red-white” but is thought to have obtained this name for its pinkish tones on the grape while ripening in the sun. The grapes have a good sugar content while maintaining nice acid. The wines are usually quite high in alcohol with intense nose and flavors of green apple and citrus with a nice body and persistence on the palate. Winemaking Soft press and fermentation in stainless steel with a few hours of skin maceration. Aged in oak barrels for 1 year with batonnage on the lees and natural decantation in stainless steel tanks with no filtering or clarification. Tasting Notes Straw yellow with golden tones. Cedar and orange blossoms, acacia and juniper with hints of citrus. Full bodied, soft with fruity flavors of honeydew and white peaches. Long finish. Pairing White meat, fine cuisine with shellfish. GRAPE VARIETALS 100% Rossese Bianco VINEYARD LOCATION The original Is located in MGA Barolo Cru Castelletto – Monforte with Eastern exposure and a younger vineyard facing west. AGE OF VINES 10-38 years DRINK OR HOLD? Drink SERVING TEMPERATURE 10-15°C/50-58°F Roero Arneis DOC Giacomo Fenocchio – Monforte d'Alba Why We Chose This Wine Claudio Fenocchio is the 5th generation winemaker at this family run winery in the Bussia cru of Monforte d'Alba. He follows a traditional philosophy and hope to best bring out the character of the terroir in all the wines. Although he specializes in the big reds, the Roero Arneis is an excellent effort by Fenocchio. It is not the average simple expression of the grape but creamier and more complex. You will find an intriguing floral and fruity nose with medium body that covers your palate nicely but still has a beautiful freshness. Arneis from Roero, its native land, usually has a minerality that sets it apart! Winemaking The grapes are gently pressed and then the wine-must obtained is refrigerated in stainless steel vats to allow the lees to settle. After 24-36 hours the juice is separated from the lees and fermented at a controlled temperature. Bottling is done in sterile conditions. Aged in stainless steel tanks and matured in the bottle. Tasting Notes The light hay coloring is loaded with greenish reflections. The fragrance is soft and complex, especially inviting with aromas hinting broom, camomile and fresh fruti like white peaches and apricots. The flavor is pleasantly tangy, full and very persistent. Pairing Great as an aperitif. Pairs nicely with saucy dishes white meats and grilled fish GRAPE VARIETALS 100% Arneis VINEYARD LOCATION Monteu Roero from only approx. 3 acres AGE OF VINES 10-15 years old DRINK OR HOLD? Drink SERVING TEMPERATURE 10-12°C/50-54F° Petite Arvine DOP Les Cretes – Valle d'Aosta Why We Chose This Wine We wanted to take you on a journey a bit North of Piemonte to the bordering region of Valle d'Aosta known for the Petite Arvine white grape varietal.The cool temperatures are fantastic for giving an incredibly intense aroma to the wine. Les Cretes is considered one of the most historical and well regarded wineries in that region and best known for their award winning Chardonnay – this year voted the best white wine in Italy! When we chose an Aosta white wine for your selection, we tasted their whole line-up. While the Chardonnay was delicious, it was creamier and more similar to an international or Burgundy style. But what actually excited us the most was one of their simplest wines, Petite Arvine! The grape is unique and has a beautiful purity that we love. Thought to originate in Switzerland but planted for centuries in Valle d'Aosta, it is considered one of its native grapes. Wines from the Alps boast a beautiful minerality that we surely wanted you to experience. The Petite Arvine expresses just that with a light and delicate mouthfeel but with very intense flavors and a salty persistence. Winemaking Soft press of refrigerated grapes.12 days of fermentation at low temps in stainless steel.Fining on the lees for 1-2 months. Tasting Notes Floral nose of jasmine and peonies with hints of green apple, yellow plums and lime. Delicate on the palate with flinty and salty flavors with medium persistence Pairing Shellfish dishes GRAPE VARIETALS 100% Petite Arvine (small grapes from Arvine variety) It is especially resistant to cold temps in the mountains and needs the sunniest exposure because of late ripening. VINEYARD LOCATION Champorette e Bufferia di Aymavilles, Frissonniere di Saint Christophe In Valle D'Aosta on steep hills at high altitude up to 700 mt. Which requires enormous fatigue and work. DRINK OR HOLD? Drink SERVING TEMPERATURE 10-12°C/50-54° F Blanc de Blancs Alta Langa DOCG Contratto - Canelli Why We Chose This Wine Contratto is the most historical classic method sparkling wine house in Italy and was the first in all of Italy in 1919 to make a vintage sparkling wine! It is also the home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site where they have the underground cathedrals dedicated to making and storing the wine. The town of Canelli is also known for Moscato d'Asti and Asti Spumante so I would say it is a bubbly town! Believe it or not, Contratto was actually the personal supplier of wines to the Italian Royal Family and the Vatican at the turn of the 20th century. Contratto winery has changed hands over the course of time but is now owned by the famous La Spinetta winery. The Rivetti family has raised the bar of quality and dedicates this winery soley to the production of traditional method wines (metodo classico). Visiting this historical building which keeps winding further and further underground is always a magnificent treat. Unbelievably all the bottles are still riddled (rotated) by hand. Mauro is the master “riddler” who has been specializing in this job for 40 years (since he was 16 years old) and has become quite a celebrity for his 300 bottle turns per minute! Winemaking Grapes are handpicked and kept separate from different vineyards. After first fermentation with native yeasts the wines are then blended together before the second fermentation in the bottle done with native yeasts as well.Wine rests on the lees for approximately 4 years! Riddling done by hand. Tasting Notes Golden yellow color. White stone fruit on the nose with citrus, slate and tree blossoms. Vertical on the palate with a nice mineral note balanced by a nice creaminess. Persistent bubbles. Pairing Finger foods and fish GRAPE VARIETALS 100% Chardonnay BOTTLES PRODUCED 650 cases DRINK OR HOLD? Drink SERVING TEMPERATURE 6-8°C/42-46°F Sterbu Chardonnay Cantina Rizzi - Treiso Why We Chose This Wine Sterbu is a bit of a gamble on my part.

  • Danilo Thomain
    Danilo Thomain Home of the second-highest winegrowing zone in the valley, the the Enfer d’Arvier is a splendorous amphitheater of steeply terraced vines overlooking the Dora Baltea/Doire Baltée river below. Covering a scant 5 ha, the majority of the Enfer d’Arvier’s output is via the local co-op, and with his single hectare in production, Danilo Thomain stands as the zone’s only independent bottler of wine. Amazingly, he is currently clearing and de-foresting another hectare’s worth of hillside above his current holdings in order to expand production, thereby reclaiming some of the long-unused but prime terrain whose viticultural records date back to the 13th century. The huge diurnal shifts between Enfer d’Arvier’s scorching days and chilly nights—“Enfer d’Arvier,” after all, means “The Hell of- Ar vier”— expresses itself in a palate tug-of-war between rapier-like acidity and thick, luscious fruit that vibrates with energy—and as a recently consumed 2008 attested, it can age beautifully. It seems like just the other day that, through a recommendation from his pal Ermes Pavese, we had yet another face of the Valle d’Aosta’s incomparable terroir revealed to us. These are the sorts of treasures we at Rosenthal live for—arresting wines made by fascinating people working in unique corners of the earth—and Thomain’s wines were an immediate success. Danilo produces only a few hundred cases of wine each vintage, and being able to purchase over half of it for the USA is a great privilege indeed.

    CHÂTEAU FEUILLET Country: Italy Region: Valle d’Aosta Appellation(s): Valle d’Aosta Producer: Maurizio Fiorano Founded: 1997 Annual Production: 1,500 cases Farming: Sustainable Website: www.chateaufeuillet.vievini.it Maurizio Fiorano grew up outside Turin and moved to Milan for his studies, but his life took an unexpected turn when he married and moved with his wife to her hometown of Saint Pierre in the Valle d’Aosta. Fiorano continued his work as a surveyor, but his long commute became burdensome when the two of them started a family. By the time their second child came along, Maurizio had had enough and left his old job for good. He didn’t have any definite plans and he knew that his wife’s business of running a small inn was not for him. But she had inherited vineyards from her family, so why not make wine to serve in her restaurant? The idea suited him perfectly, and he went to work in the vines. In the beginning his production was tiny: he signed up to show his first vintage at VinItaly but arrived at the gargantuan expo with just four bottles! Today his production remains small, but he is careful to export to many different markets. He may not be born and bred, but Maurizio says he feels like a Valdostano, and this is his way of showing off the local products all over the world. If Maurizio became a vineyard owner by chance, he was exceedingly lucky in the placement of his plots—he will humbly tell you that it’s not hard to make good wine here.
