瑞士過後，我們來到了意大利的Aosta Valley。
Aosta Valley與Piemonte、法國及瑞士為鄰，又近阿爾卑斯山和 Mont Blanc，是意大利面積最小的產酒區，只佔意大利 DOC 產酒量大約 0.05 %。這裏的人多說法語，對小女子來說是一個「很不意大利」的意大利地區。
位於Aosta Valley的La Plantze歷史可追溯至80年代，現僅擁有 6 公頃葡萄園，年產約 20,000 瓶。他們除了種植 Petit Rouge、Cornalin、Fumin和Mayolet，還有International Grapes如：Sauvignon Blanc、Merlot、Pinot Gris等等⋯⋯
當天天氣不錯，陽光普照又清爽，見到附近不少高山，與先前到訪過的產區截然不同。
接待我們的Giorgio Anselmet非常好客，當天共開了22款酒予我們品嘗，以下是小女子比較喜歡的酒款：
