Valle d'Aosta is the smallest region in Italy, sorrouned by the highest peaks of Europe, which are Mont Blanc, Cervino and Monte Rosa. The region is completely mountainous and gets its name, Valle d'Aosta, from the valley which runs through it. All agricultural production is based in the valley like wine-growing, which produces both white and red Alto Adige DOC. These grapes are from ancient local vine varieties which stand on terraced hills and for this reason very hard to work. The most famous traditional Val d'Aosta product is probably the Fontina Valdostana, a cheese made with the milk of local cattle breeds that graze at an elevation of 2500 asl. This is the main ingredient of the famous traditional Val d'Aosta dish: the fonduta.
The agricultural holding Les Cretes is owned by Mr Costantino Charrère who has been one of the most dynamic and innovative producers in the Valle D'Aosta region for many years. Coming from a family with a deep agricultural background handed down from generation to generation, Costantino's father started growing grapes with the aim of turning them into high quality wine. The company's work and aim focus on the revaluation of the land, the rediscovery and optimization of few native vines which are almost extinct. Since 1989 until today Les Crets has grown a lot and with its 25 hectares of vines it is currently the biggest wine company in Val D'Aosta with a production of 230.000 bottles a year.
