Grosjean 'Montmary' Rosé Metodo Classico Extra Brut, Valle d'Aosta, Italy 2023

Famille Grosjean is a benchmark estate in the Alpine Valle d’Aosta, where generations of the Grosjean family have championed organic farming and native grape varieties grown at dramatic elevations. Working in some of Italy’s highest vineyards, the domaine focuses on low-intervention winemaking and pure expressions of mountain terroir. The 'Montmary' Rosé Metodo Classico showcases their elegant, cool-climate approach to traditional-method sparkling wine, blending freshness, minerality, and finesse.

• WINEMAKER: Grosjean Family

• FARMING: Certified Organic

• VARIETY: 60% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay, 20% Gamay

• TERROIR: Estate vineyards in Valle d’Aosta planted on steep, terraced slopes with sandy, morainic soils at alpine elevations, benefitting from wide diurnal shifts that preserve acidity and aromatics.

• VINIFICATION: Traditional method (Metodo Classico) with the base wine fermented in tank, followed by secondary fermentation in bottle.

• AGING: Extended lees aging prior to disgorgement; finished with an Extra Brut dosage.

• TASTING NOTES: Delicate pale pink color with fine, persistent bubbles. Aromas of wild strawberry, red currant, and rose petal lift from the glass, layered with subtle citrus zest and stone-dust minerality. The palate is brisk and dry with bright acidity, refined mousse, and a long, crystalline finish.

• FOOD PAIRINGS: A perfect aperitivo choice alongside prosciutto and alpine cheeses, smoked trout, tuna crudo, or light vegetable fritti.
