RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

http://www.vivc.de/index.php?r=passport%2Fview&id=664

Petite Arvine is a white grape variety grown mainly in Valais, Switzerland and Italy's Valle d'Aosta. It is unclear exactly where the variety originated, and growers and officials from both regions claim it as their own. Petite Arvine wines are defined by their bracing acidity and grapefruit aromas, and often show a touch of salty minerality on the palate.

Petite Arvine is early budding and late ripening, and is somewhat fussy in the vineyard. It needs sunny sites that are protected from the wind so its grapes can reach full ripeness. It is susceptible to mildew, botrytis bunch rot and mites, and needs sites which are not too dry. Petite Arvine's saving grace is that it is rather productive – as well as the high quality of its wines.
