Description: The region of Valle d'Aosta has an ancient history of winemaking, even though the steep mountain slopes and harsh, cold climate might suggest otherwise. Historically however, wine production from the region was confined to individual 'backyard vineyards' of usually no more than 2,500 square meters. In 1983, thanks in part to the efforts of the region's local government, these efforts were officially acknowledged and the Cooperative estate, Cave du Vin Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle, was born.

This cooperative took control of its newly built winery, well-equipped with all the technology needed to produce high-quality fine wines and began producing the region's traditional wine varieties. The local growers of the co-op are for the most part retired persons (with an average age of 75 years) who tend their vines as they would a garden, following specific guidelines set up by the cooperative itself.

Today the Cave du Vin Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle produces over 140,000 bottles annually of 5 different traditional Valle D'Aosta wines. This unfailing commitment to the Valle D'Aosta wine-making has literally saved the region's history and culture from extinction, making these beautiful wines, and a part of Valle D'Aosta's culture.

Our range of wines is constantly evolving as we strive to list as many wines in our
database as we can. Here are some interesting suggestions from our extensive wine list


Azienda Agricola Cos CERASUOLO DI VITTORIA DOC Sicily
Ruby red wine, aged in small French oak. Apart from its great concentration and richness, it shows a wonderful vibrant character and will age well. Founded in 1980, COS , is the top boutique winery in Sicily, with very limited production of stunning modern wines. The 10 hectares estate lies near Victoria on the south east corner of the island (12 x 75 cl)
Chateau Cos d'Estournel LES PAGODES de COS Saint Estephe
Second wine of Chateau Cos d'Estournel (12 x 75 cl)
Chateau Cos d'Estournel 2eme Cru Classe Saint Estephe
In 1811, Louis Gaspard d'Estournel set out to produce wine of the very best quality in the hamlet of Cos. He was a dealer in Arab horses, which were shipped to and from the Far East, accompanied, eventually, by some bottles of the Estournel wine. Some of the consignment came back and it was noticed that the bottles had developed exceedingly well. D'Estournel decided all of his wine would make a sea journey and to emphasise his connections with the Far East he built a chateau in the style of an Oriental temple, complete with Pagoda towers. The success of these wines is due to the expert management of Bruno Prats who has invested on a large scale and has made many fundamental improvements. The vigorous taste holds nuances of ripe fruit, plus chocolate, coffee and spices. Gravel ridges, mixed with sand, clay and a limestone subsoil. 50-100% of virgin barriques new oak. "Massive in the mouth and one of the most structured and concentrated young Cos d'Estournels I have ever tasted...should last for 30-35 years. It is fabulous Cos, but patience is required. Anticipated maturity, 2006-2030." Parker, 93+. (12 x 75 cl)
