Thus, in 1990, the Cave des Onze Communes was inaugurated, a winery characterized by a strong choral soul. In an uncontaminated valley where you can breathe the smell of the earth and savor the unique tastes of nature, they work extremely fragmented vineyards, providing the necessary raw material's result is extraordinary 400,000 bottles produced that go beyond the borders of the Aosta Valley to land throughout Italy, reach Europe, Japan, and finally the United States. Synonymous with seriousness, dedication, respect for nature, and passion for wine, the company has been looking for perfection since 1990 and its tenacity defines its essence, enhancing the natural qualities that the Aosta Valley has to offer.
