Azienda Agricola Lo Triolet

About Winery and Wines

Lo Triolet winery is located in Introd where the Martin family runs the winery and a small holiday farm housed in an old building dating back to 1656. Lo Triolet was born in 1993 by combining the experience and expertise gained by Marco while working as viticulture technician for the Regional Government and his family’s passion for winegrowing. The idea of replanting an old vineyard located at an altitude of 900 meters, to replace the Petit Rouge with an early grape variety such as Pinot Gris, was a decisive factor in achieving immediate and successful results and, thus, new vineyards were planted, covering up to five hectares. As a consequence, total production went from 1,000 bottles to the current 42,000. The winery’s vineyards are located near the towns of Introd, Villeneuve and Nus, at an altitude of 600 to 900 meters. The vineyards are planted in sandy soil of morainic origin rich in mineral constituents. The savoury, fresh and elegant wines express the essence of the mountain terroir. The grapes, during the ripening stage, benefit from the high day/night temperature range which contributes to the wine’s aromatic complexity. The management of the vineyards is based on the use of compost combined with the limited use of plant protection products, according to the principles of integrated pest management and with due respect for the environment and the product.
