La Crotta del Prado was founded in 1980 by a passionate group of winemakers from the lower Aosta Valley who decided to join forces to promote the native and international grape varieties grown in this border region. Located in Donnas, the winery operates in one of the region's most suitable viticultural areas, where the temperate Alpine climate and moraine-based soils create ideal conditions for growing Gamay. Vinification takes place in stainless steel with temperature-controlled fermentation, followed by a brief aging period that preserves the grape's freshness and immediacy, enhancing the varietal characteristics in a wine designed to be enjoyed young.
