Collection: Petite Arvine

Petite Arvine belongs to the white grapes that rarely find their way onto Danish wine shelves, and that is precisely why it is worth noticing. With us you will encounter it from Italy, and specifically from Valle d'Aosta, the small mountain region in the country's northwestern corner. It is this origin that defines the grape's expression in our range, and the majority of our Petite Arvine comes from here.

Valle d'Aosta is Italy's smallest wine region, tucked into the Alps close to the border with both France and Switzerland. The steep slopes, the high altitude and the cool nights form a quite special setting for a grape like Petite Arvine, which thrives in this mountain climate. Here the wine is grown at the edge of what is possible, and the small quantities reflect both the region's modest size and the grape's status as a local speciality. These are grapes rooted in a very particular area, and the close connection between grape and terroir is a large part of the charm of choosing a bottle from here.

Because Petite Arvine is grown in only a few places, it is an obvious choice if you would like to venture beyond the most widespread white wine grapes. You get a wine with a clear anchoring in its homeland, and that is exactly what makes it a fine discovery for the curious. Italy stands as the clear origin for the grape with us, and the selection is small but focused, so you can become acquainted with one of the more unexpected white grapes from the Italian Alps.

If you enjoy exploring wine's lesser-known corners, Petite Arvine from Valle d'Aosta is a fine place to begin. If you want to delve further into the region and the rest of the country, you will find more among our Italian wines.
