The most discreet of the pinots
Click on the map to zoom in
Pinot Blanc is a pale-skinned variant of Pinot Noir. In the Aosta Valley it keeps a low profile, less planted than Pinot Gris or Chardonnay. But it makes a fine white that does not try too hard.
Across the whole valley, from the lower valley to Morgex
It is allowed across the whole appellation, from the lower valley up to Morgex and La Salle.
Ready in December: on sale from 1 December
The share of Pinot Blanc never drops below 85%. The wine can be sold from 1 December of the harvest year.
In the glass
Bright straw yellow, a fine nose, a balanced, pleasant palate, nothing overdone.
At the table
Lake fish, risottos, eggs, fresh cheeses.
