Description
La Kiuva "Rose de Vallee" Valle d'Aosta N.V.
Grape Varietals & Region: Blend of Nebbiolo, Gros Vien, and Neyret. From a small and picturesque area in Northwest Italy of Valle d'Aosta, which borders both France and Switzerland. The vineyard has a sandy soil composition, an altitude of 380–500 metres and a southeast exposure. Extremely steep, terraced pergola-trained vineyards that produce natural, fresh and complex wines.
In the Aosta Valley where La Kiuva grows grapes and makes wine, Nebbiolo is known as Picotendro, from the French Picot Tendre. Nebbiolo from this part of Italy, where French is spoken, is often more delicate and fragrant than its Piedmontese counterpart.
Taste Profile: Beautiful pale pink colour. Intense wild berry and rose petal bouquet. Fresh and mineral light-bodied palate with a remarkable flintiness. Savoury, ripe and tangy red fruit flavours of strawberry, red currant, cranberry and red cherry with a delicate bitter taste at the end.
Winemaking Process: After a manual harvest, the grapes go through a short maceration for 12 hours. Fermentation occurs without the skins at a controlled temperature. Following this is 6 months refinement in stainless steel tanks and 2 months in bottle.
WINES FROM UNIQUE REGIONS & BOUTIQUE WINERIES
Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
