2022 Valle d’Aosta Cornalin
Château Feuillet
The local grape Cornalin makes a wine on the lighter end of the red spectrum, emphasizing low tannin, bright acidity, spice, and a floral bouquet. It is a bit delicate and capricious, which is probably why it is a relatively rare bird in the world of wine, requiring a meticulous vintner like Maurizio to coax out its elusive finesse and delicacy. This is one of my favorite go-to wines when the weather or the dish calls for a red with more spring in its step.

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

A one-of-a-kind, high-altitude, fully dry Moscato. Bright fruit and granitic minerality in an utterly thirst-quenching package.
