For example, there is the Blanc de Morgex between the Morgex and La Salle area. This cultivation is located at 1200 meters above the sea level and it is extended upward.
The particular characteristic of this vineyard is the ability to achieve the vegetative cycle in a very short time which give an intense and elegant aroma rich of fresh fruits aromas.It is very particular also the “Vino del Ghiaccio” (the Ice wine) because the harvest takes place during the night at very low temperatures and this give a very atypical and unique aroma.
