Les Cretes

The Les Crêtes winery was founded in 1989 in Aymavilles (Valle d'Aosta), by Costantino Charrère and is today managed by his family who has been involved in agri-food production for five generations. The vineyard cultivation area extends for 25 hectares along the orographic axis of the Dora Baltea.

The Alpine climate strongly influences the organoleptic characteristics of local wines: the grapes, harvested late, undergo strong temperature changes due to the autumn temperature range (day/night +22°C/0°C); this phenomenon, typical of mountain areas, favors the formation of aromatic precursors in the bunch, which considerably enrich the aromatic component of the wines. The overall annual production is 170,000 bottles.

The cultivated varieties are both native (Petit Rouge, Fumin, Petite Arvine, Gros Rouge, Cornalin, Mayolet, Prëmetta) and international (Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah). The company's production "tension" is aimed at the entire production chain, where interventions are carried out with the utmost attention and care, in the continuous search for quality. The winery has a tasting room and ample parking and is located in a wonderful panoramic site.

A cellar to discover, to compare it with the great French and Italian wines and to discover excellent native wines, otherwise unknown.
