Ermes Pavese Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle, 2022

Ermes Pavese Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle, 2022

Regular price $36.00

This wine is made of 100% Prié Blanc. We'd love for you to enjoy this herbaceous and mineral driven wine with something salty and nutty: the classic pairing of a hunk of Fontina Val D'Aosta and/or some anchovy toast with salted capers. Tucked into Italy's smallest and highest elevation DOC, Prié Blanc grows in uniquely harsh alpine conditions. "

Being at the mercy of the weather is the life of any winemaker, but at 4,000 feet things are different." - Ermes Pavese

Details

From our importer: A stunning wine from the highest vineyard site in Europe on the summit of Mont Blanc. Because these vineyards are so isolated, Pavese has been able to work with the original, pre-phylloxera root stock since that malady never infiltrated this area when it came sweeping through Europe many years ago. Annual production is about 12,000 bottles of this austere, racy, mineral white wine with vivacity and length.

In the highest reaches of the Val d’Aoste beneath Mont Blanc, Ermes Pavese harnesses the Prié grape to express the majesty of his alpine terroir. Located in the hamlet of La Ruine, between Morgex and La Salle, the estate has been making wine since 1999, when Pavese began marketing the family’s production under the advice of Marziano Vevey. Starting with only 2 ha of vineyards, Ermes has, in recent years, assembled numerous parcels scattered around Morgex and La Salle to increase his total holdings to about 6 ha. At about 1,200 meters above sea level, these are some of the highest vineyards in Europe.
