Chambave is a subzone of the Valle d'Aosta DOC known for a Petit Rouge red and a Muscat white.
Chambave sits in the middle of the valley, on the Dora Baltea.
The red is at least 70% Petit Rouge, the valley's signature red grape, with other local reds in support. Chambave Muscat comes from Moscato bianco, grown in the same area. It is made as a fresh white wine and as a sweet passito from dried grapes, called Chambave Muscat Flétri.
For the sweet version, selected grapes are dried after harvest until their sugar content reaches at least 26%.
The grape zone covers parts of Chambave, Châtillon, Pontey, Saint-Denis, Saint-Vincent, Montjovet and Verrayes on both banks of the Dora Baltea.
