Petit Rouge is an autochthonous red wine variety from the Aosta Valley wine region , Italy . The Enfer d'Arvier , Chambave Rosso and Torrette are wines made from this grape variety. The variety ripens late and produces dark-colored (ruby red to purple) red wines with ripe, soft tannins . Its characteristics are also the sharp acidity and a slight bitterness. It probably came to Valais from the Aosta Valley at the beginning of the 20th century . DNA analyzes at the “Istituto agrario di San Michele all'Adige”, today Fondazione Edmund Mach in San Michele all'Adige , also revealed a second-degree relationship to the old Resi grape variety, which is native to the Swiss Alps .
A study published in 2002 suggests that the Mayolet , Petit-Rouge, and Vien de Nus varieties are closely related and likely descended from the same ancestors. The previously expressed assumption that Petit-Rouge is known in Switzerland under the name Humagne Rouge could not be confirmed on the same occasion.
