The Cave Gargantua Torrette Supérieur Labié is a wine label linked to the territory and mainly to the old Petit Rouge vines. Like all local wines, Labié requires a very careful vinification and a delicate aging in wood to not cover up the unique and characteristic notes of the mountain area. It is an important aging red wine in which you can recognize the Aosta Valley.
In ancient texts, the word "Labié" finds various definitions and the most curious defines the mumble, the person who complains continuously, in a friendly sense. We have chosen the constructive disapproval connotation of this word, that of people who are never satisfied, who always want to do better, like our grandfather, who taught us to grow vines.
What should I expect while sipping a glass of Labié?
To be amazed by its complexity, since it is one of the wine labels of Cave Gargantua that remains most impressed on those who try it.
As soon as you bring the glass closer to your nose, you will feel a concentration of aromas that will remind you distinctly of the Aosta Valley: from red fruits to spices, but in the taste, you will also be clear about the structural importance of this wine, given by one year of refinement in large containers. Ultimately, you will be dealing with a product of a certain degree, created to be a good combination of aromatic notes and aging.
