The vineyards are between 900 to1200 metres above sea level, and are the highest vineyards in Europe. Their isolation and altitude naturally protect the vines of Prié Blanc from phylloxera and therefore all vines are ungrafted. The soil is mountain sand of granite origin. Vines are trained by the traditional \"pergola bassa\" method, to protect them from low, nighttime temperatures even during the growing season.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eGrapes were harvested manually. Once in the winery, the whole bunches were gently pressed with a pneumatic press. Fermentation was carried out in 1000 to 6400 litre stainless-steel vats and lasted for two weeks. The wine was kept on the lees for nine months with frequent bâtonnage. During this time malolactic fermentation was allowed to take place in order to smooth the high acidity levels of Prié Blanc.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eValle d‘Aosta (or Vallée d‘Aoste) is Italy's smallest and least populated mountainous region, surrounded by the Alps in northern Italy, on the border with France. It was here in 1999 that Ermes Pavese and his wife Milena, founded their winery, in the village of Le Ruine, on the Italian side of the Monte Bianco (or Mont Blanc).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"London End Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64621394362745,"sku":"102105624","price":29.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/5405\/2509\/files\/ErmesPaveseBlancdeMorgexetdeLaSalle.jpg?v=1789648348","url":"https:\/\/www.londonendwines.com\/products\/ermes-pavese-blanc-de-morgex-et-de-la-salle-2024","provider":"London End Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
