Located in the hamlet of La Ruine, between Morgex and La Salle, the estate has been making wine since 1999, when Pavese began marketing the family's production under the advice of Marziano Vevey. Starting with only 2 ha of vineyards, Ermes has, in recent years, assembled numerous parcels scattered around Morgex and La Salle to increase his total holdings to about 6 ha. At about 1,200 meters above sea level, these are some of the highest vineyards in Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrie is the oldest documented cultivar in the Val d'Aoste, and is among the oldest in all of Italy. Genetic parent to, among others, Premetta and Mayolet, it gives crystalline wines of vivacity and precision when tended by a conscientious grower like Pavese. Pavese's vines, trained in the traditional Pergola Bassa system, are so isolated at the end of this valley that they are still planted on their original rootstocks, not threatened by the Phylloxera louse that devastated nearly all of Europe's vineyards at the end of the 19th century. Producing still, sparkling, skin-macerated and sweet wines, this domaine shows the majesty that wines of the alps can achieve. Illuminating in their youth, recent tastings with some of the Pavese's oldest vintages illustrates the profundity and complexity that his wines take on after significant bottle age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dessert Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67809519730887,"sku":"13116","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/5663\/4311\/files\/IMG_3075.jpg?v=1790943936","url":"https:\/\/villagewinemerchant.com\/products\/2022-ermes-pavese-ninive-blanc-de-morgex-et-de-la-salle","provider":"The Village Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
