2020 Valle d’Aosta Fumin
Château Feuillet
The French on this label reflects the linguistic and cultural overlap of the Italian-French-Swiss border, only fifty miles from Château Feuillet in the stunning Valle d’Aosta. This rosso, made mostly from the local variety called Fumin and a splash of Syrah, is one of northern Italy’s most distinct—and delicious—red wines.

2019 Valle d’Aosta Moscato Bianco
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
A one-of-a-kind, high-altitude, fully dry Moscato. Bright fruit and granitic minerality in an utterly thirst-quenching package.

2023 Valle d’Aosta Torrette
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
True to the region, it has exuberant, piquant fruit, both peppery and floral throughout.

2022 Valle d’Aosta Rosso Torrette Supérieur
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
The grapes are dried for several days after harvest, then pressed and aged in barrel to give an equally lively red with a bit more guts and bass notes.

2022 Valle d’Aosta Cornalin
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
This rare red variety has a straightforward freshness and light herbal spiciness.

2022 Valle d’Aosta Fumin
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
Fumin truly is, as Feuillet’s vigneron Maurizio Fiorano puts it, “an age-old pearl of local enology.”

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:
1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
