2021 Valle d’Aosta Traminer Aromatico
Château Feuillet

When driving through Italy’s Valle d’Aosta, watch for lofty vineyards and complicated, multilingual exit signs. Both are influenced by their French neighbors in the north but have a decidedly regional character—much like this Traminer Aromatico. It pays lovely homage to its French cousin, Alsatian Gewurztraminer, but with a Valdostano interpretation: the nose is floral, but these are surely mountain wildflowers, and the palate is perfectly crisp and quenching.

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

2021 Valle d’Aosta Rosso “Torrette Supérieur”

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.

A good doctor prescribed the wine of Nuits-Saint-Georges to the Sun King, Louis XIV, when he suffered an unknown maladie. When the king’s health was restored the tasty remedy enjoyed a vogue at court. Lord, send me a doctor like that!
