**Valle d'Aosta** is Italy's smallest wine region, a narrow alpine valley in the far northwest, ringed by the highest peaks of the Alps near the French and Swiss borders. **Wines & grapes** — It grows a remarkable range of native and international grapes on steep terraces, including reds from Petit Rouge, Fumin and Nebbiolo (locally Picotendro or Picotener), and whites from Prié Blanc, Petite Arvine and Müller-Thurgau. **Character** — Some of Europe's highest vineyards, cool mountain air and stony slopes give light, fresh, high-acid wines with real alpine character, often made in tiny quantities by growers farming by hand. Its single DOC, Valle d'Aosta, covers the whole valley. **Good to know** — Prié Blanc from Morgex and La Salle ripens at extreme altitude on ungrafted vines, a mountain rarity.
