Torrette 2022 Grosjean
Grosjean's Torrette 2022 is a full-bodied, intense red wine made from a traditional blend of native Valdostan grapes, including Petit Rouge, Fumin and Cornalin. The vines are located in the communes of Quart and Saint-Christophe, at an altitude of 650 to 700 meters, on slopes with a 50-70% gradient, facing south and southwest. Cultivated according to organic farming principles, these vines grow on sandy, shallow soils, benefiting from an unspoiled alpine environment.
Vinification takes place in stainless steel, with fermentation at a controlled temperature of 28/30 °C and a maceration on the skins of about ten days. The wine then matures for several months in steel tanks, thus preserving the freshness and fragrance of the fruit. Grosjean's Torrette 2022 represents the classic version of this traditional Valdostan wine, offering an immediate and pleasant tasting experience, ideal for accompanying legume soups, pasta dishes with meat sauce or white meats.
In the glass, Torrette has a dark ruby red color with brilliant reflections. On the nose, it opens with a complex and intense bouquet, dominated by notes of berries, cherry and fragrant red fruit, accompanied by hints of spice, toast and alpine wild herbs. On the palate, it is balanced, with juicy and harmonious fruit aromas, fine tannins and good flavor persistence, closing with pleasant fruity and spicy sensations.
