Cave du Vin Blanc de Morgex et de la Salle

In the past the Blanc of Morgex and of La Salle was marketed by the individual vignerons, with modest productions than did not guarantee a constant presence on the market amd a correct popularization of the comprehensive wine-producing image. Some incentive, like the sense of pride for the own traditions and the age-old practice to the work in group in the mountain villages, and outside, like the farsighted action of Don Bougeat, parish Priest of Morgex until 1971, given cue for the creation of the "Association des Viticulteurs". In 1983, after a decade and on the ashes of this, as the first result of some politics of support and development of the winegrowing valdostana carried out from the Regional Administration, was been based the Cave du Vin Blanc de Morgex et La Salle, that subsequently took possession of the local of the new seat of Morgex, technologically to the avant-garde. In the first decade of winemaking activity La Cave du Vin Blanc de Morgex et La Salle reached nearly the double of the number of the partners, at present a hundred, and increased of 100% the actual production, now quantifiable in 150.000 annual bottles: a further confirmation of the success of a walk undertaken giving again life to vines now left on the slopes of the Monte Bianco,to conserve the tradition of the places. Certainty, the given productive can seem reduced respect to other wine-producing reality, but is necessary to remember that this represents beyond 90% of the thoughtful grapes in the communes of Morgex and La Salle, for a total of 20 hectares of surface, and, above all, that the geomorphologics characteristic of the ground present meager possibility of expansion.
