Enfer d'Arvier is a subzone of the Valle d'Aosta DOC, a Petit Rouge red from one steep slope in Arvier.
The name, French for hell, is said to describe the heat on its south-facing slope.
Enfer d'Arvier is made from at least 85% Petit Rouge, the strictest Petit Rouge rule in the valley. The zone is a small hillside at the localities of Monbet and Bouse, bordered by the Dora di Valgrisenche and the Dora Baltea. The slope faces the sun.
The standard wine ages for at least five months. Superiore ages for at least eight.
The grape zone is limited to hillside land in the commune of Arvier, at the localities of Monbet and Bouse.
