In the heart of the Aosta Valley mountains, Rosset Terroir’s vines grow on unique soils, from breathtaking altitudes to rugged slopes.
Rosset Terroir’s vineyards are located in emblematic areas of the Aosta Valley, each with unique characteristics that influence the production of our wines.
From the sandy and rocky soils of Chambave, to the hills of Aosta, to the highest vineyards of Villenueve: each soil, each altitude, contributes to giving our wines a unique minerality and freshness, celebrating the beauty and strength of the Aosta Valley terroir.
Our Muscat Blanc is cultivated in the areas of Champlan, Grenella, and La Meyaz, within the municipality of Chambave—a territory historically renowned for Muscat Blanc production.
The combination of sandy and rocky soils results in a smooth, well-balanced wine, characterized by its distinctive mineral salinity.
On the hills overlooking Aosta, between 750 and 800 meters in altitude, lies the historic heart of the estate, in the municipality of Saint-Christophe.
In the areas of Senin and Thuvex, the first vineyards were planted in 2001: Syrah, Chardonnay, and the native Cornalin. In the following years, Petit Rouge and a new Pinot Gris plot in Senin were added.
The sandy, stony, and skeleton-rich soil gives the grapes unique traits of minerality and freshness.
At higher elevation, in the hamlet of Le Croux, a new high-altitude vineyard has recently been established and is already in production. Here, on steep, sun-exposed slopes, international grape varieties have been planted, carefully selected for their ability to thrive under extreme alpine conditions.
In the municipality of Villeneuve, in the upper Aosta Valley, lie the highest vineyards of our estate. Between 900 and 1,000 meters above sea level, on slopes reaching a 50% gradient, we cultivate Petite Arvine and Pinot Gris.
The soil here is sandy and silty, enriched with slate, quartz, and granite—elements that bring minerality to the wines.
It is here that Sopraquota 900, our signature wine, takes shape — named after these extraordinary and demanding high-altitude vineyards.
