Información sobre este vino:
Nus Malvoisie from La Crotta di Vegneron is a white wine of medium aging that seems born of stone, dry air and the severe elegance of the Aosta Valley. In it, the winery turns Alpine austerity into refinement, with a very particular interpretation of the Malvoisie —a name reserved for the Pinot Gris grown in Nus— and a clearly gastronomic vocation. It is not a wine that seeks frivolity; its character is rather that of a well-woven silk over a mountain structure.
In the glass it presents a profile of noble sobriety, where ripe white fruit, a floral nuance and a clean minerality draw a landscape of almost architectural precision. There is a sensation of cold purity, of high-altitude breeze, that makes it distinguished without any need for display. The La Crotta di Vegneron winery stamps here that style typical of valley wines: restrained, fine, and with a personality that reveals itself little by little, like a whisper more interesting than a speech.
Its type of white wine expresses itself with a polished, elegant texture and an enveloping feel, accompanied by an acidity that holds the whole together with firmness and good taste. The fruit does not overflow; it is contained with aristocratic discipline, while the Alpine terroir contributes that saline and earthy edge that so many wines pursue and so few achieve. It is a wine for unhurried conversation, for a well-set table and an attentive appetite.

Bright straw yellow color, with luminous reflections and a clarity that suggests precision and freshness.
Intense and persistent nose, with notes of ripe pear, apple, honey and a delicate hint of confectionery, over a floral and mineral background.
On the palate it is full, dry and well structured, with a broad yet contained texture. The white fruit reappears with elegance, wrapped in a marked minerality and a sense of very fine balance, almost like a Swiss alpine clock.
Medium to full body, with a harmonious presence and a friendly density that does not weigh, but caresses.
Well-defined structure, with good inner tension, integrated acidity and a backbone that supports the wine naturally.
Long, clean and persistent finish, with a fruity and saline trail of remarkable distinction.
It comes from the Valle de Aosta, an alpine environment where altitude, thermal range and mountain soils favor a precise and mineral expression. The identity of the wine is deeply linked to the Nus area, the historic cradle of this singular Malvoisie.
Vinification and aging in stainless steel, seeking to preserve the aromatic profile, the purity of fruit and the clarity of the varietal character.
Serve chilled, around 8–10 °C, to appreciate its tension, its perfume and its mineral profile.
