Valentina Andrei

Valais producer of Petite Arvine and Gamay, rated by major critics.

Valentina Andrei produces wines from Valais, Switzerland's largest wine region, where Alpine terrain and continental climate shape distinctive expressions of local and international varieties. The winery's Petite Arvine—a white grape native to the region—appears across its portfolio, notably in Ivresse and Belle Usine Petite Arvine. These wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Falstaff, and Decanter. The winery also works with Gamay, the Burgundian red, as evidenced by Combe de Noutse Gamay. Valais's steep vineyards and mineral-rich soils lend precision and structure to its wines, whether aromatic whites or elegant reds. Valentina Andrei's focus on Petite Arvine reflects the region's commitment to indigenous varieties that thrive in its specific terroir.
