Organic WineCornalinVigne Rovettaz Vallée D’Aoste DOC
An sun kissed aspect at 700 mt of altidute hosts the Cornalin variety that has only recently been rediscovered for its unique personality and ageing potential.
It presents an intense ruby red colour and its aroma is ample and spiced with hints of tabacco. A full finish with pleasant tannins identify this low acidic wine.
Ideal with meat and our local soups but pairs well with cheese, in particular our Fontina DOP.
Organic since 2015.
