Nebbiolo Sommet Valle d’Aosta D.O.P.

A Nebbiolo that shows what this grape variety can achieve in the high altitudes of the Aosta Valley: structured, aromatically dense, with the cool precision of a mountain wine. Les Crètes is one of the best-known wineries in the Aosta Valley — one of Italy's smallest and most spectacular wine regions, where vines grow on terraces up to over 1,000 meters high.

In the glass, the Sommet glows in a rich ruby red. On the nose, it opens with blackberry and ripe cherry, plus balsamic accents — eucalyptus, a hint of mountain herbs — which are typical for Nebbiolo from alpine sites. Juicy on the palate, with a clear acid structure and firmly integrated tannins that give the wine support. The finish is long and spicy.

Good with game dishes, braised beef, or a mature Pecorino. Serving temperature: 16–18 °C — feel free to open an hour beforehand so it can fully unfold.
