Rosset Terroir Sopraquota 900 2024

Rosset Terroir Sopraquota 900 2024 is a distinctive white wine from Italy’s high-altitude Aosta Valley, made from the region’s expressive Petite Arvine grape. Produced through a meticulous combination of amphora, clay vessels, wood and steel, it is a refined example of heroic viticulture from vineyards planted above 900 metres and has received an impressive 97/100 from James Suckling.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows an elegant straw-yellow colour. Its refined, floral bouquet is lifted by refreshing grapefruit and citrus aromas, while subtle mineral nuances reflect the steep, stony mountain terroir. Dry, full-bodied and vibrant on the palate, Sopraquota 900 balances lively freshness with a pronounced saline and mineral character. Carefully integrated texture from its maturation in different vessels adds depth without obscuring the wine’s natural energy. With its structure and concentration, it can develop further in bottle for up to ten years when stored in suitable conditions.

Production
The Petite Arvine vines are cultivated in the Cumiod area of the Aosta Valley, between 880 and 920 metres above sea level. This steep, north–south-facing site features sandy, stony soils rich in schist, granite and quartz, while high-density planting and Guyot training help naturally limit yields. The grapes are harvested by hand in late October, followed by a gentle cold maceration to encourage aromatic extraction. Fermentation and maturation take place through a carefully considered combination of amphorae, clay vessels, wood and stainless steel, with malolactic fermentation carried out in wood to build structure while preserving freshness.

Food & Serving
Sopraquota 900 is an excellent match for shellfish, grilled or baked fish, and other delicate seafood dishes. Its saline minerality also complements poultry, light meats and medium-aged cheeses. Serve chilled at 12–14°C. Decanting is not essential, but a short period of aeration in the glass or a brief decant can help reveal its floral, citrus and mineral complexity, particularly when enjoying a younger bottle.

Producer
Rosset Terroir is a producer devoted to expressing the distinctive mountain landscapes of the Aosta Valley. Sopraquota 900 embodies the winery’s commitment to heroic viticulture, with hand-harvested grapes grown on demanding high-altitude slopes and vinified with a strongly artisanal approach. The wine’s use of amphora, orcio, barrique and steel highlights the producer’s focus on texture and complexity while retaining the freshness of Petite Arvine and the mineral identity of its alpine terroir.
