Caves de Donnas
Valle d'Aosta
Conquering the slopes
Donnas sits in the stunning Alps of northwestern Italy, within the picturesque Valle d’Aosta. Though it lies in an alpine environment, the region enjoys a unique continental and mild climate that supports the cultivation of an intriguing mix of Mediterranean plants like olive trees, lemons, palms, and mimosas. This favorable climate is especially ideal for viticulture, making Donnas a hidden gem for wine enthusiasts!
You'll find century-old terraces lining most vineyards, held by walls up to 4 meters high. Viticulture here is entirely manual and spans the entire year, but the pay off is worth it. The grapes tended to flourish in the mountainous climate, producing a range of elegant and fragrant wines.

Their mission? To protect and elevate both the quality and authenticity of their cherished wines.
Fast forward to today, and Caves de Donnas seamlessly blends innovation with tradition. Their commitment shines through in every bottle, each embodying the rich heritage and meticulous craftsmanship of this exceptional collective.
