Donnas Rouge, Vallée d'Aoste - 2020

750 mL
Item # 15911

This is a true Alpine wine that sings of its place of origin. These steep hills and mountains are ideal for grazing herds, and also for the production of light-bodied red wines. A blend of Nebbiolo and Freisa, this bottle gives delicious brambly notes on the nose, as well as dark, fleshy blackberries and cherries. Imagine the elegance of a Barbaresco combined with the airiness of a Pinot Noir. The tannins are very approachable and the wine makes a perfect accompaniment to many of the local cheeses from Vallée d'Aoste.

Staff Pick Notes

This wine is the definition of a hidden gem. The Valle d’Aosta is Italy’s smallest and least populated region but possesses incredible terroir, being a mountain climate rising to incredible altitudes up dizzying terraced slopes composed of rocky glacial run-off and schist. It is here that Nebbiolo can show dimensions that can rival the best of the Piedmont. The mountain terroir showcases the pristine aromatics and elegance of Nebbiolo at its finest and with a few years of bottle age, the Donnas becomes mountain magic. The florals, spices, and fresh red fruits displayed here are all characteristics many consumers spend more than double (and in some cases much more) on in regions close by (hint: they both start with B). Valle d’Aosta is also famous for its salumi, and this wine pairs wonderfully with all sorts of charcuterie!

Glossary

Freisa

The Freisa grape produces delicious red wines in a variety of styles - both still and sparkling, dry and sweet. In each of its many iterations, Freisa remains a very fruit-driven, juicy variety; the wines make excellent matches with light appetizers.
