By all accounts, this wine shouldn't be here — not in New York, maybe not even in Aosta. Danilo Thomain farms just 2.5 acres of brutally steep terraces inside the Enfer d'Arvier amphitheater, a sun-blasted bowl of vines (the name means "Hell of Arvier") perched above the Dora Baltea river at roughly 2,200-2,600 feet (680-800 meters). He's effectively the lone independent voice in this tiny Alpine DOC. Petit Rouge leads the blend, rounded out with a touch of Pinot Noir, Gamay, and Gamaret, all hand-carried down the hill, spontaneously fermented in steel and fiberglass, and aged in his basement two stories underground. The result is an Alpine red that's deep but weightless, threaded with black raspberry, plum skin, wild herbs, and crushed mountain stone — exactly the kind of wine that explains why people fall hard for the Valle d'Aosta.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Tailor-made for Alpine cooking: fonduta with crusty bread, polenta concia, prosciutto and Fontina, mushroom risotto, braised rabbit, or a slow-roasted pork shoulder with roasted root vegetables.

Tasting Profile

Medium-bodied and energetic, with black raspberry, plum, wild herbs, and crushed-stone minerality. Bright acidity, fine grippy tannins, savory finish. Mountain freshness without any sense of weight or heaviness.
