2020 Valle d’Aosta Fumin

Château Feuillet
Discount Eligible $42.00
SOLD OUT

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.

Sampler Includes:

2022 Valle d’Aosta Moscato Bianco  $35
Raised in stainless steel, Moscato produces aromas that are fiercely locked into this bottling. Honeyed, yet bone-dry, it has a hint of chestnut and would be as charming for an apéritif as with a cheese or dessert course.

2022 Valle d’Aosta Traminer Aromatico  $35

Expressive and pedigreed Feuillet’s Traminer might be the white Burgundy equivalent of the bunch. It spends some time on its lees, giving it a rounder mouthfeel. Pair it with fattier fish or slices of salty speck.

2022 Valle d’Aosta Petite Arvine $37
A grape of Swiss origin, Petite Arvine is a versatile white, persistent in length with a mouthwatering and crystalline minerality. It soaks up the sun but maintains a flinty edge.

2021 Valle d’Aosta Rosso Torrette Superieur  $37
A bright and plummy wine with a velvety texture, made from the native Petit Rouge variety. Serve this beauty with bolder fare in need of a refreshing companion.

2022 Valle d’Aosta Rosso Cornalin  $38

A spicy, smoky red with rustic undertones, Cornalin has pretty black fruit and is a great match for well-seasoned sausages and other charred meats.

2021 Valle d’Aosta Rosso Fumin  $43
A robust and pleasantly tannic rosso, Fumin has a floral quality with a bit of a bite—similar to peppery Syrahs of the northern Rhône.

Inspiring Thirst

I want you to realize once and for all: Even the winemaker does not know what aging is going to do to a new vintage; Robert Parker does not know; I do not know. We all make educated (hopefully) guesses about what the future will bring, but guesses they are. And one of the pleasures of a wine cellar is the opportunity it provides for you to witness the evolution of your various selections. Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
