100% Chardonnay. But no ordinary grapes. Only the best grapes from two individual plots in the communes of Saint Pierre and Villeneuve. We are in the heart of Italy's smallest region, where the vineyards grow by snatching up precious bottomland hectares from the high peaks of the Alps. The plots chosen by Anselmet for this white are now thirty years old, planted around 1989. We are at an altitude of around 800/900 metres above sea level, therefore almost at the limits of vine cultivation in Italy. Vinification is simple but accurate. Temperatures are controlled at every stage to favour the preservation of the best aromas, the finest and most elegant ones. Before bottling, the wine is placed in steel containers, in contact with its fine lees. It remains here for at least 6 months, during which it undergoes regular bâtonnage. The result is a wine characterised by a beautiful, intense and brilliant straw yellow colour. The nose reveals white flowers, in particular chamomile, citrus fruits and white-fleshed fruits. On the whole, this is a decidedly fresh wine that reveals its Alpine origin well. Excellent as an aperitif, it is the wine that can tastefully accompany fish lunches and dinners. Try it with the classic spaghetti allo scoglio.
It takes a certain amount of heroism to decide to make wine in the Aosta Valley. And obviously a pinch of madness too. Qualities that are certainly not lacking in the Anselmet household, which has been involved in this since ancient times. It seems, in fact, that the first traces of an Anselmet working among the vines and barrels at the foot of Mont Blanc date back to 1585. Since then, from father to son, the Anselmet family has gradually consolidated its relationship with the mountains and, in 1978, Renato Anselmet created the winery that we all know and appreciate today. Anselmet harvests high quality grapes from its excellently exposed vineyards located between 600 and 900 metres above sea level. Traditional and autochthonous vines that are processed with passion and skill in the beautiful cellar of Villeneuve, in the province of Aosta, and then reach markets all over the world. Collecting, ça va sans dire, the most prestigious prizes and awards.
