Lovers of indigenous grape varieties, step forward. What Maison Anselmet offers here is a real gem. La Touche Rouge, in fact, is a young, ready-to-drink red wine. A creation of the house winemaker who has had fun blending some of the region's most interesting red grape varieties such as Petit Rouge, Cornalin, Mayolet and Fumin. These are all vines that love the cold climate of the Valle d'Aosta but reach perfect maturity thanks to the warm sun of the Alpine summers. We are between 700 and 900 metres above sea level and the great temperature range between day and night favours the appearance of intense and elegant aromas. Classic red vinification and refinement in stainless steel give life to a wine characterised by a beautiful intense ruby red colour with purple hues. On the nose the scents are those of underbrush and jam, while in the mouth it is full, with notes of black cherry that lead to an intriguing closure with particular blood notes. A strongly territorial red wine that requires a typical pairing. Excellent, for example, with polenta with cheese or a classic savoury soup.
