The Chambave Muscat from the Valle d'Aosta winery La Vrille is a dry white wine made from the pure vinification of Muscat Petit Grain; one of the many names by which Moscato Bianco is known, an aromatic grape of Greek origin widespread in almost all countries of the Mediterranean area. In Valle d'Aosta, it is mainly cultivated in the Chambave area and expresses very interesting and balanced wines that combine the aromatic richness of the fruit with the mineral freshness typical of mountain whites.
The Chambave Muscat wine is produced by a small artisanal reality. The La Vrille winery is located in the municipality of Verrayes, at an altitude of about 650 meters above sea level. The property covers a total area of about 2 hectares, situated in a splendid natural amphitheater, beautifully exposed to the south. The vineyards are nestled in an unspoiled natural context of great biodiversity, rich in orchards, medicinal herbs, and woods. The small production of the winery has retained a typically artisanal character, with the aim of enhancing the historically present grape varieties in the Valley and the particularities of the alpine terroir. The Muscat Petit Grain vineyard is cultivated using the Guyot method on loose soils of ancient morainic origin, with a notable presence of sands. The grapes undergo a cold pre-fermentation maceration, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine rests in steel for 8 months on its own yeasts with periodic bâtonnage and finishes aging with 4 months in bottle before being put on sale.
The Chambave Muscat white from La Vrille is a fresh and harmonious wine, a typical expression of the dry Moscato from Valle d'Aosta, ideal for pairing with seafood appetizers, shellfish, or medium-aged cheeses. It presents a straw yellow color with greenish reflections. On the nose, it expresses aromas of orange blossom and white flowers, citrus notes, yellow fruit, hints of sage, and medicinal herbs. The palate is delicately aromatic, with soft fruit and a finish on fresh and savory notes.
