Made from an Interesting varietal (Prie’ Blanc). Light golden color. Nose is rich with white flowers, hay, wet stones and an appealing “funky” quality. Pallet is rich and tangy. Flavors of white peach, apple, quince and fresh herbs. Nice saline note as well. That pleasant funk was present on the finish. A bit of an oily texture. Quite delicious! Though we enjoyed many Valle d’Aosta wines at this event, this was a wine we kept talking about. Thank you for offering this one, Ron B! — 5 months ago

I’m not sure where my previous note went.
Just when you thought you knew Italy, up pops this might as well be SwissFrench alpine darling from the Vallée D’Aoste.
Blanc de Morgex et de la salle. The town/village of Morgex lies just below Mt. Blanc. The Prié Blanc vines thrive in soil that has not known phylloxera.
Stones, herbs,and lemons all wrapped up in a rather electric pkg. I think drink young. Cold, the nose doesn’t have much to say past stone fruit, maybe rainier cherries.,But the palate is pow! Lemons, herbs, mineral, high acid and refreshing. With fried Branzino, perfect!
Always a sucker for high altitude Italian.
