Region: Morgex, Vallée d'Aoste, Italy (Valle d'Aosta Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle DOC)
Grapes: 100% Prié Blanc
Body: Light
Notes: Ethereal and precise. Lemon blossom, green apple, crushed Alpine stone, white peach, and a piercingly clean, saline mineral finish with electric acidity. The highest-altitude wine in Europe — and it shows.
Pairing: Grilled mountain trout, oysters, fresh goat cheese, fondue, or anything that calls for a white wine of extraordinary delicacy and freshness.
Piero Brunet Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle is produced by Piero Brunet at his small family winery in Morgex — one of Europe's most extraordinary and remote wine-growing locations, confirmed as a truly special estate by visitors who describe Piero as "a man of infinite kindness and passion" whose wine is "one of the best Blanc de Morgex et de la Salle ever tasted." The Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle DOC is sourced from Prié Blanc — one of the world's rarest white grape varieties, grown at altitudes of 900–1200 meters above sea level on terraced Alpine vineyards carved from glacial moraine soils near the foot of Mont Blanc. At this extraordinary altitude, the vines grow ungrafted (phylloxera cannot survive in the rocky glacial soils), making them some of the last pre-phylloxera vines in the world. Piero farms by hand with total commitment, producing a wine of piercing freshness, delicate structure, and mineral precision that captures the wild, untouched character of the high Alps in every bottle.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
