Thomain’s Enfer d’Arvier is perhaps the most jubilant, boisterous red wine we import from the Valle d’Aosta. Produced entirely from the indigenous Petit Rouge, it’s a homemade wine in every sense of the word: these vertiginous terraces must be worked entirely manually; grapes are hand-harvested, carried just down the road to Danilo’s house, and the wine is made right there—fermented spontaneously, and aged in non-temperature-stabilized steel tanks in his basement two stories below the earth’s surface. The 2022 Enfer d’Arvier pours a typical saturated maroon in the glass, its inkiness hinting at the wine’s notable concentration of fruit. The nose is exuberant, brimming with black cherries, sun-drenched stones, tiny mountain flowers, and a tasteful touch of wild earthiness. The huge diurnal shifts between this zone’s scorching days—“Enfer d’Arvier,” after all, means “The Hell of Arvier”—and chilly nights expresses itself in a palate tango of rapier-like acidity and thick, luscious fruit.
