Valle d'Aosta DOC, Torrette Superiore ist ein bedeutender Wein, eine Vereinigung der wichtigsten autochthonen Weine des Aostatals. Er ist das Ergebnis eines sorgfältigen Verschnitts ausgewählter Trauben aus den am besten exponierten Weinbergen auf der rechten und linken orographischen Seite des Dora Baltea. Nur die ältesten Weinberge mit den geringsten Erträgen werden für die Herstellung dieses Torrette Superiore berücksichtigt. Alle Parzellen liegen zwischen 550 und 700 Metern über dem Meeresspiegel, und um den richtigen Reifezeitpunkt zu optimieren, wird die Ernte je nach Höhenlage und orografischer Neigung differenziert. Für die Komposition dieses Rotweins werden 80% Petit Rouge, 10% Mayolet und Cornalin und 10% Fumin verwendet. Der Ausbau im Holz erfolgt je nach Jahrgang in unterschiedlichen Behältern und mit unterschiedlichen Reifezeiten. In jedem Fall ruhen nur 60/70% der Masse in Holz, während die restlichen 30/40% in Stahl ausgebaut werden. In der Nase zeigt er ein weiniges, intensives Bouquet mit deutlichen Noten von roten Früchten und Konfitüre, die von den Gewürzen des Ausbaus untermalt werden. Am Gaumen ist dieser Wein trocken, lebendig, vollmundig und mit einem langen Nachgeschmack und einer großen Persistenz. Ein Wein für eine lange Reifung, der auf dem Tisch eine Kombination aus rotem Fleisch, gegrilltem Fleisch und Wurstwaren erfordert. Er passt auch hervorragend zu den vielen guten, mittelreifen Käsesorten, die für die Region typisch sind, allen voran der unverwechselbare Fontina.

An interesting but little-known grape variety, Gamay originates in lower Burgundy, particularly in the area known as Beaujolais. In Valle d'Aosta it was introduced at the end of the 1960s, finding an ideal habitat. Cave de Onze Communes processes Gamay in purity, using grapes that come from vineyards located on the orographic right and left of the Dora Baltea, between 650 and 800 metres above sea level. To enhance the pleasantly fruity character of this vine, the Gamay from the Cave is processed exclusively in steel, at a controlled temperature. This allows its vinous characteristics and most typical floral notes to be brought out. After processing, bottling takes place in the late spring following the harvest. An ideal wine as an aperitif or for an afternoon snack, it satisfyingly accompanies local cured meats. On the table, on the other hand, it calls for light and delicate first courses, white meats and delicious savoury pies.

100% Cornalin, this little-known but very interesting grape variety, together with Mayolet, Fumin and Petit Rouge, forms the 'poker d'aces' of native Valdostan reds. It has been cultivated in the region since time immemorial, although it is a very demanding vine in terms of heat and brightness. It is especially characteristic of the central valley. The most vocated slope is undoubtedly the left orographic side, although, at an altitude that is not excessive and with good exposure, the opposite side can also give rise to very interesting wines. The one proposed here by Cave des Onze Communes is made from 100% steel, in order to bring out the best of the olfactory sensations characteristic of the vine. Deep ruby red in colour, with purple highlights, the nose reveals an intense perfume characterised by spicy notes of pepper and green leaves that are sometimes enriched by balsamic hints of mint and liquorice. In the mouth it is dry and soft, rich in important but velvety tannins. It is precisely this characteristic that makes Cornalin a good companion for many important dishes of Valle d'Aosta cuisine, especially those based on red meats and mature cheeses.

Of the seven geographical sub-denominations that represent the highest expression of the 'terroir' of the Valle d'Aosta appellation, Torrette is the best known and most cultivated. It takes its name from the mountain of the same name located in the commune of Saint-Pierre. Cave des Onze Communes produces it from grapes that come from vineyards located in the municipalities of Quart, Saint-Christophe, Aosta, Sarre, Villeneuve, Saint-Pierre, Charvensod Aymavilles, Jovençan and Gressan. Harvesting is staggered over a period of about two weeks, depending on the different altitudes and exposures of the vineyards, located between 600 and 800 metres above sea level. Petit Rouge is 70%, the rest being blended from red grape varieties characteristic of the area. This red wine ferments and rests for about 6 months exclusively in steel tanks and is bottled from the late spring following the harvest. Ruby red in colour tending towards garnet, the nose reveals an intense aroma of red fruits and hay. Slightly spicy, with bottle ageing it takes on typical almond notes. On the table it goes well with cured meats, white and red meats and medium-aged local cheeses such as Toma and Fontina.
