Rosset Terroir

Rosset Terroir story started in 2001, when the Rosset family decided to plant their first vineyards on an area of around three hectares, in the small village of Senin (Saint Christophe), on the outskirts of Aosta. Syrah, Chardonnay and the autochthonous Cornalin were the first varieties planted. The Company started growing fast and within a few years new vine varieties were planted, such as the Chambave white Muscat, with more than two hectares, and the indigenous Petite Arvine, planted in the heroic area of Villeneuve, at a heroic elevation of up to 1,000 meters. Because of climatic, geographical, and climatic limitation, the Aosta Valley has always been considered a harsh territory. Therefore, the wine production is focused on quality rather than on quantity, by strongly investing in the territory.

Nowadays, the winery works with the total respect to nature, by being totally powered by renewable energy, thanks to many photovoltaic panels placed on the front of the building. Organic farming practices are used. Two different types of clay vessels are utilised for ageing, alongside steel tanks and wood vessels of varying size: the Tava amphora and the Orcio Toscano, a type of vessel used to hold wine and oil since the Etruscan age.
