Discover Terroir

Arnad-Montjoovet is a DOC located in the western part of the Aosta Valley and covers about 10 km between the towns of Montjovet to the north and Arnad to the south. In this region, the Consorzio di Tutela Vini Valle d'Aosta is key to elevate the quality of the wines under this appelation.

The region's summers are hot and dry due to low rainfall. In addition, being located on steep terrain, the vineyards are exposed to a great deal of sunlight during the ripening stage. Moreover, as in the other subregions of the Aosta Valley, Arnad-Montjovet has a large temperature variation between day and night, which slows down ripening while preserving the natural acidity of the grapes.

On the other hand, the soils of Arnad-Montjovet have a fine, sandy texture and are of glacial origin. As in Chambernave and Nus, terracing is often used in this subregion to facilitate the harvest.
