Valle d'Aosta is the smallest and least populated region in Italy, only one-eighth the Size of neighbouring Piedmont. It covers a mountainous area in the far northwest of Italy, where the country's borders meet those of France and Switzerland.

The most important of these is Picotendro, the local form of Nebbiolo.

Chardonnay and Gamay grow side by side with Nebbiolo and Dolcetto. In addition to the best-known varieties, the Regional Agricultural Institute has listed a selection of indigenous regional varieties.
