Harvest began September 29, 2022 with manual harvesting in boxes and immediate cooling through cold storage.

Fermentation begins after a light pre-fermentation maceration and proceeds spontaneously with regular pump-overs. The wine then matures for twelve months in 20 hL Austrian oak barrels, completing malolactic fermentation with indigenous yeasts before bottling in November 2024.

Aged for 12 months in 20 hL Austrian oak barrels to preserve purity and elegance.

Founded in 1989 by Elio Ottin, who at just 23 transformed steep, coarse-soiled terrain between Quart and Saint-Christophe, Ottin now produces some of the Aosta Valley’s finest high-altitude wines. Guided by a farmer-scholar philosophy, Elio and his son Nicolas approach the vineyard and cellar with deep agronomic study and care, nurturing the land to express its unique mineral and sandy soils. The estate operates as a fully self-sustaining ecosystem, powered entirely by renewable mountain resources—stream water, solar energy, and biomass—and fertilized solely with manure from their own cattle. From Petite Arvine and Fumin to Pinot Noir and Torrette Superieur, Ottin wines reflect the richness of their mountain terroir and the meticulous stewardship of their vineyards.
