Arvier

Arvier has served as a wine-growing community in the Aosta Valley since the Middle Ages. Set beside the Dora Baltea, it occupies a narrow Alpine corridor edged by slopes of steep terraced vines. Its best-known red, Enfer d’Arvier, is a DOC wine produced chiefly from the local Petit Rouge grape; its name, meaning “hell”, alludes to the heat held by the sun-facing terraces. The remains of the medieval La Mothe castle overlook the settlement, while the valley’s road and railway trace the river towards Aosta and the upper valley.
