About the Valle d'Aosta region

    Location
    The Valle d'Aosta DOC (French: Vallée d'Aoste DOC) is an Italian denominazione di origine controllata located in the Aosta Valley of north-west Italy.
    Climate
    The area of the Aosta valley has continental climate and despite its location in the Alps region the weather is typically very hot and dry in the summer time which tends to put harvesttime in early September.
    Soils
    The vineyard soils are composed primarily of sand at the higher elevation with more alluvial sediments of clay and gravel further down into the valley.
    Distinctive
    The geography of the wine regions is marked by high, steep slopes leading to the river valley which makes the use of mechanical vineyard equipment nearly impossible.

How this ranking is built

Producers are included when WhatDrink has a canonical producer-to-region relationship supported by the catalogue data.

Representative wines are selected from products with a stable relationship to this region, with preference for clear producer identity and a useful spread of producers, wine styles and designations. Inclusion is not an editorial score and does not mean these are the region’s best wines.
