Ottin Elio Vallee d'Aoste Chardonnay Canto X

"Ottin was founded by Elio Ottin in 1989, who at the age of 23 acquired his first plots of land between the municipalities of Quart and Saint-Christophe. He was handed rough, steep terrain with coarse-grained soil, but with a passion for farming he revived the land to unearth minerals and sandy soils that now create the hallmark terroir of these Valdostan mountain wines. A system pivoting around the environment rather than the land, Ottin’s energy is produced by 100% renewable sources, and in every sip, their wine communicates a history that reflects enrichment, belief in the land, and its producer’s personality.

Straw yellow with golden highlights. Notes of tropical fruit, ripe mango, passion fruit and bergamot, thyme and flint, with a slight hint of mountain butter, give a complex and fresh nose profile. A great freshness is also found on the palate, where the saline lash makes it extremely taut and persistent." -Supplier notes
