Winery Les Crêtes
The Charrère family settled in Valle d’Aosta around 1750 and began to produce in the agro-food industry in the early 1800s. Today Les Cretes, founded by Costantino, Imelda, Elena and Eleonora, cultivates in Valle d’Aosta with 20 hectares of vineyards on steep slopes.
The terrain: the company produces its wines in an alpine environment, characterised by loose, sandy, morainic soil in a dry and windy microclimate.
The vineyards grow in different areas along the riverbed of the Dora Baltea, from the towns of Arnad and Montjovet in the lower valley, finishing in the middle valley in the town of Villeneuve. The most extensive vineyard grows in the area called "Coteau la Tour" of Aymavilles. The annual production is around 180.000 bottles.
The agronomic management is conducted with great manual skill, with respect to the environment and to safeguard the value of the territory. The grape harvest is done by hand in samll crates, in order to take into the cellar healthy and undamaged grapes which are transformed into wine, paying great attention to the quality.
The wines, white and red, are fresh, elegant and rounded and give off an essence of the "mountain terroir". They are the result of light, temperature changes and a naturally windy and fresh area which favours agronomic management with low environmental impact.
