Anselmet, Petit Rouge D.O.C.
(PAY-teet ROOZH)

 

Tasting Notes: From perhaps the best producer in Valle d’Aosta, and certainly one of its smallest, comes this fantastic Petit Rouge. Incredibly clean and vibrant, it is a scintillating array of red berry fruit and crystalline transparency. The palate bursts forth with tart berries including Bing cherry, raspberry, blackberry, and marionberry, rounded off by tarragon, moist forest floor, and woodsy stems.
