VALLE D'AOSTA
ITALY

The only one of Cuneaz’s wines not named for a local monster, “Les Gosses” derives from a French term for “little children” (monsters in their own right, to be sure!)—of which Nadir has three.

  • Winemaker: Nadir Cuneaz
  • Variety:  Vien de Nus (60%), Petit Rouge (25%), Vuill- ermin (15%)
  • Terroir: From the Bedeun vineyard and Creta Platta vineyards in Gressan. Limestone glacial moraines 
  • Vinification: Following total destemming, wine ferments spontaneously in stainless-steel tanks. Cuvaison lasts c. 15 days
  • Aging: 12 months in stainless-steel tanks
  • Tasting Notes: With electrifying acidity and a complexity-contributing edge of woodsmoke, this is a classic Vallée d’Aoste lip-smacker, stuffed with juicy black cherries and crunchy plums.
