Q

What is Stagafassli

A

Stagafassli is a term that may appear on the label, but it is not a subzone. It indicates Valtellina Superiore wine that is bottled across the border in Switzerland; it may also be aged in the towns of Brusio and Poschiavo, Switzerland. The wine and grapes still come from the Italian Valtellina, though. It can’t be labeled with one of the five subzones, even if the vineyards otherwise qualify, because the bottling is not done in the subzone, nor can it be designated as riserva.

Q

What is Pot Vaudois

A

Pot Vaudois 1822

This is a heritage bottle with origins the early 1820s when it was made in several local glassmakers. It fell out of use as industrial processes became more rationalized. Modern versions were recreated from musueum originals in 1998, and now have their own promotional association.

The bottle holds 1.4 liters. Accordingly, the Demi Pot is the spirits-sized wine bottle. The 35cl version is known as a Picholette.

They are permitted to be used only for Vaudois AOP wines, bottled in the Canton of Vaud. They are not compulsory however, and are very rarely seen in export markets.
