Elio Ottin Petite Arvine DOP from the Valle d’Aosta is a beautifully crisp and aromatic alpine white that showcases the extraordinary potential of this rare Swiss-Italian variety in Italy’s smallest and highest wine region. Grown on steep, terraced vineyards overlooking the Aosta Valley at elevations between 600 and 800 metres, this Petite Arvine is a wine of purity, tension and elegance, shaped by mountain sunlight and cool nights.

Elio Ottin, a former viticulturalist for the local cooperative, has built a reputation for precision and character, and his Petite Arvine is one of the stars of the estate. Fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve freshness and detail, the wine is focused and mineral, with just enough mid-palate texture to round out its crystalline edge.

On the nose, expect aromas of grapefruit zest, white peach, alpine herbs, lemon balm and a whisper of sea salt. The palate is dry and vivid, with flavours of citrus oil, green apple, crushed rock and a savoury, saline lift that lingers long on the finish. There's a distinct tension and verticality to the wine that reflects its altitude and stony soils.

Food pairing: excellent with freshwater fish like trout or perch, citrus-dressed salads, raclette, sashimi, or grilled vegetables with lemon and olive oil. Also a natural fit for goat cheese or light alpine fare.

Cellar potential: best enjoyed in the first 5 to 7 years, though it can evolve gracefully, gaining subtle honeyed and herbal notes with time.
