With plantings from 700 to 1000 meters, Rosset exemplifies the geographic and climatic challenges of Valle d’Aosta, where low yields make quality the essential focus. Trasor Rouge is a blend of Syrah and Petit Rouge with a small percentage of Cornalin. Cesare and Natalina planted their first vineyards in 2001, to accompany the raspberries, saffron and genepy that they farm and distill. Cornalin, Chardonnay, and Syrah are near the family’s raspberry crops in St Cristophe, in rocky/sandy soil structured with small stones. Rosset is recognized for protecting the region’s native vines and for demonstrating the promise of Valle d’Aosta’s wines. Indigenous varieties like Cornalin, Petite Arvine and Petit Rouge are preserved through the family’s devotion. Ruby red color. Red fruits, good spiciness, black pepper and licorice on the nose. Dry, velvety tannins, soft and well balanced on the palate. Organic.
