Suíça - Montreux |
O
Monte Branco e o Grande Paraíso são apenas alguns dos cumes que separam Val
D’Aoste de França e Suíça a norte, de Piemonte a sul e a leste.
O terreno
montanhoso de Val D’Aoste faz com que a viticultura seja difícil, parecendo por
vezes impossível. A maior parte das vinhas são plantadas em terraços ao longo
do vale escarpado. No cimo dos vales, em Morgex e La Salle, situam-se as vinhas
mais altas da Europa, plantadas entre 900 e 1300 m de altitude.
Switzerland has about 15 000 hectares of
vineyards and wine production focuses more on the west and south of the country.
The
vineyards, with the south-facing slopes, along rivers and around the lakes
(which reflect heat), are difficult to grow and due to its high cost of
production makes the Swiss wine is truly expensive.
The vineyards are everywhere but the most important are located in Valais and Vaud.
In the past the white wine production was higher than that of red wine, but after 2003 this trend changed, and the current percentage is 42 % white wine and 58 % red wine. The main white grape is Chasselas Switzerland (27 %) , which normally entails wine to drink in 3 years, but we can surprise so nice after 25 years. The Pinot Noir is the most widely planted red grape variety here (30 %).

Vast majority of domestic production is consumed within national borders and only a small part is exported, mainly to Germany. The Swiss is in the Top 10 highest per capita consumption.
The
Mont Blanc and Gran Paradise are just some of the ridges that separate the Val
d' Aoste France and Switzerland to the north of Piedmont to the south and east.
The mountainous terrain of Val D' Aosta makes viticulture is difficult, sometimes impossible seeming. Most vineyards are planted on terraces along the valley escarpment. At the top of the valley in Morgex and La Salle, lie the highest vineyards in Europe, planted between 900 and 1300 m altitude.

We tasted wines that, in this magnificent region, were from the castes Arvine Petit, Petit Rouge, Fumin, Cornalin for white wine and Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah for red wine.
