GrapeCollective: ElioOttin Val d'Aosta Wines

A somewhat interesting though not terribly profound article by ChrisBarnes in the GrapeCollective

on the wines of Elio Ottin.
I had two of them at Breckenridge over Christmas and liked them quite a lot.
One of my favorite area in all Italy. Too bad they make such little wine. It’s sad that over 90%
of the vnyds have been abandoned over the last 100 yrs.

Tom, I really appreciate your notes and contributions, and I know no one really cares about anything any more, but really…

I’d love to visit this area. And I too was saddened and surprised at that 90% reduction in vineyards.

Hmmm… my understanding was that the Vd’A produced the smallest amount of any of the regions in Italy. Am I wrong??

Fwiw, I import Ottin. Everything he makes…in stock.
