Here is finally the variety Priè Blanc, the variety most old in the Aosta Valley, one of progenitors of the others autochthonous varieties from Aosta Valley, as Mayolet, Bianco Commune and Prëmeta.

The Priè Blanc is cultivated on the low pergolas to avoid the damage because of the height of the snow and the strong wind in the winter conditions. The particular climate conditions give the possibility to limit the anti parasites treatment.
