About Winery and Wines

Let yourself be brought among the Alpine peaks, in a corner of paradise where past, present and future mix to give wines of undisputed excellence produced by the Cave des Onze Communes. Immersed in the heart of the Alps, at the foot of Mont Blanc, the Aosta Valley offers a breathtaking panorama where culture, tradition and food and wine blend perfectly to create unique and refined products. The Cave des Onze Communes was born here, a winery that boasts one of the highest wine production in Europe, thanks to the 60 hectares of vineyards, extremely parceled out, distributed over 11 Municipalities: Quart, Saint-Christophe, Aosta, Sarre , Saint Pierre, Villeneuve, Introd, Aymavilles, Jovençan, Gressan, Charvensod. Located à l'Adret and à l'Envers of the Dora Baltea, the countries listed touch altitudes that reach between 550 and 900 meters above sea level, giving vineyards of extraordinary beauty but extremely impervious, where it is impossible to mechanize, thus telling decades of stories of fatigue and sweat and making the Aosta Valley viticulture rare of its kind.

Grape processing is a delicate and complex process that requires the involvement of multiple professional figures. It all starts in the vineyards, where the winegrower, armed with shears, establishes the quantity and quality of the harvest. In fact, nothing would be possible without his precious work. Once the right degree of maturation of the grapes is reached, the harvest is carried out: all the product considered suitable is transported to the Cave Des Onze Communes where, thanks to two experts, the grapes are stripped of the stem and crushed, then proceeding with the quality control and with the withdrawal of sugar, to establish the final alcohol content. At this point, the automated processing chain that controls, mixes the wine, always under the watchful eye of the oenologist. After a process of fermentation, filtration, micro filtration and temperature control, the wine is finally ready to be bottled, labeled, stored and finally shipped.
