Terroir
Natural factors
- Zone at the foot of the Cozie Alps, at the point where the Val Chisone opens onto the plain: alpine foothill morphology.
- "Heroic" mountain viticulture, with limited yields tied to the environmental conditions of high altitude.
Human factors
- Viticulture already documented in the 1200s in the Pinerolo valleys, with grape varieties such as Plassa, Avarengo, Doux d'Henry, and Avanà still present today. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
- After a long period of abandonment, a revival centred on native varieties such as Doux d'Henry, Avanà, Becuet, Chatus, and the Ramìe of Pomaretto, a cultivation defined as "heroic".
Product characteristics
- Wines of pronounced character, fresh and elegant, typical of a mountain viticulture with a broad ampelographic base.
