The alpine climate, with significant temperature fluctuations between day and night, fosters slow grape ripening, contributing to the wine's aromatic finesse and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e After manual harvesting, the grapes are fermented at a controlled temperature in stainless steel to preserve the varietal characteristics of the Syrah. This is followed by approximately 12 months of aging in French oak barriques, which imparts complexity and softness to the wine without overpowering the fruity and spicy notes typical of the variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2019 Valle d’Aosta Syrah DOP by Les Crêtes is a refined and unique expression of Syrah in an alpine territory.
