Wine

Growers in Chambave produce several Italian wines under the Valle d'Aosta DOC including a rosso, sweet wine Moscato and a Passito.

  • Chambave Rosso - Must contain a minimum of 60% Petit Rouge with Dolcetto, Gamay and Pinot noir making up the rest of the blend. Beyond the Valle d'Aosta DOC requirement, grapes destined for Chambave Rosso must be harvested to a more limited maximum yield of 10 tonnes/ha and be fermented to a minimum 11% alcohol with the six months of aging taking place in wood (usually oak) barrels.
  • Chambave Moscato - Sweet white made from the Moscato di Chambave grape. Harvested to a maximum yield of 10 tonnes/ha and fermented to a minimum alcohol level of 11% with three months aging in wood.
  • Chambave Moscato Passito - Straw wine produced from Moscato di Chambave grapes that have been left to dry into raisins and then fermented to a minimum alcohol level of 16.5% with two years of aging in wood.
