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.

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.”

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.

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

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.

Every three or four months I would send my clients a cheaply made list of my inventory, but it began to dawn on me that business did not pick up afterwards. It occurred to me that my clientele might not know what Château Grillet is, either. One month in 1974 I had an especially esoteric collection of wines arriving, so I decided to put a short explanation about each wine into my price list, to try and let my clients know what to expect when they uncorked a bottle. The day after I mailed that brochure, people showed up at the shop, and that is how these little propaganda pieces for fine wine were born.—Kermit Lynch
