Valle d'Aoste Petite Arvine 2022

This is the Mayolet, not the Petite Arvine. Deep purple color. Light to medium bodied and fresh with a sour cherry and blueberry taste. No oak. — a month ago

Valle d'Aosta Torrette 2019

Magnificent Alpine Red. Blend of Petite Rouge (75%), Mayolet (5%), Vien de Nus (10%) and Premetta (5%). Medium red color with purple highlights. Intense aromas and flavors of dark chocolate, black cherry/elderberry/huckleberry fruit, purple flowers, roasted nuts, black licorice and pepper spice. Firm tannins and a long, lingering and velvety finish. No sign of oak aging. Well balanced with excellent structure. A most pleasant surprise. Revisited in January 2024. Excellent! — 2 years ago

Feudo Di San Maurizio

Valle d'Aosta Mayolet 2016

At nine years old, this may have been a touch past its prime, but it still drank pretty well. Dark fruit and tobacco were dominant on the nose and palate, with hints of earth, cinnamon, and pepper coming through as well. Would like to try a younger bottling sometime soon for comparison. 100% Mayolet. 5/5/25. — 4 months ago

Maison Anselmet

La Touche Red Blend 2018

This red blend from Valle d'Aosta was remarkably smooth and light on its feet considering it's 14% ABV. Notes of red fruit on the nose and berry jam on the palate. Very enjoyable! A blend of Petite Rouge, Cornalin, Mayolet, and Fumin. 6/14/23. — 2 years ago

Torrette Superieur Mayolet Petit Rouge

Really enjoyed for the price and balance and tannins. Not a bold taste, but a good fall wine — 4 years ago

Valle d'Aosta Torrette Petit Rouge Mayolet

Another pleasing Ital MTN vino, just wish sommeliers would offer these over those over production homogenized wines — 10 years ago

Dï Meun Vin Rouge

Roughly 50% Petite Rouge with the balance being a field blend of Coralin, Fumin, Mayolet, Vien de Nus and Gamay. Medium garnet color. Aromas and flavors of red and black cherry, purple flowers, black raspberry, cranberry, almonds and pepper spice. Nice rustic and smoky earthiness on the long finish. Medium-minus body, light tannins and beautifully balanced. Needs some time to open up. Small production and unique. Excellent choice, Petey P! Love this producer! Revisited in September 2024. Quite a unique crowd pleaser. — a year ago

Grosjean Frères

Torrette Petit Rouge Blend 2016

A blend of 80% Petit Rouge with the rest from Vien de Nus, Doucet, Fumin, and Mayolet - grapes I’m totally blind to. It’s beautiful and speaks the language of the rustic Italian countryside. It has the power, transparency, and boldness of Nebbiolo, but with cool dark berries instead of bright cherries and leather. — 5 years ago
