Valle d'Aosta is Italy's smallest DOC, in the northwestern part of the country, bordering France and Switzerland. The area is officially bilingual, hence the French spelling on the bottle. Torrette is one of the seven subregions. Many red wine grapes are grown in this region, but this site indicates that the Cave Des Onze Communes Torrette is made from Petite Rouge.Jenny and I both liked this wine a lot. We both get a strong cherry flavor, and I get a slight tinge of banana. Well worth the $12 it'll cost you at McCarthy and Schiering.
