• Located in the Aosta Valley of northwest Italy
• Italy’s smallest winemaking region both in terms of size and production
• Home to the highest elevated vineyards in Europe (surrounded by the Alps)
• Despite its location in the Alps region the weather is typically very hot and dry in the summer
• High, steep slopes leading to the river valley which makes the use of mechanical vineyard equipment nearly impossible
• Due to its high elevations, the area has never been affected by phylloxera louse (vineyards of this area remain on ungrafted rootstock)
• Most production is in red wine made from the Pinot noir, Gamay and Petit Rouge varieties
• Majority of white wine production is made from the indigenous Blanc de Morgex grape
• The region has no Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT) designations so that any wine that doesn’t fit into one of the 22 DOC styles is sound under the vini da tavola designation
