Grosjean Frères
Vallée d'Aoste Prëmetta
Valle d'Aosta, Italy
First tango with this varietal. It’s light enough to be mistaken for a rose. Strawberries, cherries, rhubarb and rose petals emerge from the glass. On the palate it’s tangy, very floral and a little briny and stony, with a surprising amount of structure given how pale it is. Very interesting—I will say it’s not my favorite of the Grosjean lineup but that’s more about how much I love the producer.

Quite an interesting new varietal for me. Unusual garnet color with some brownish tints. High elevation fruit. Looks more like a dark rose’ than a traditional red. Aromas and flavors of cherry and strawberry fruit. Subtle hints of slate, iron, orange zest and rose petals. Ripping acidity and practically no tannins. Nice flavor and light body. Took a chill very well. Fascinating and delicious! Thank you for sharing, Ron B!

My first taste of this obscure varietal; in fact, I've only seen it produced by Grosjean. When I first poured it I couldn't decide if it was a really light red or a really dark rosé. But when I had my first taste I decided that it drank much more like a rosé. Delicious floral aromas and flavors of strawberry and rhubarb. 100% Premetta. 3/4/23.

Nice and bright, with a clean mineral finish.

Don't let the light color fool you. Had this is Chinese food and the floral, strawberries, orange, and vanilla notes coming from the glass. Rolls down very easy and love the light and pronounce peach and rose flavor on the palate.

So when my friend first brought me this and I was like gamay from Italy, I completely thought it wasn’t even going to be worthwhile. Boy was I wrong. The classic strawberry and light fruit with medium acid to provide structure. Deliciously intact with a short and sweet expression of the grape. I didn’t know it was possible but this wine definitely showcases its elegance.

Just lovely. Surprised to see a gamay from Aosta - did not disappoint! Berries, herbs, touch of spice. Complex, good finish. Definite repeat.
