2022 Valle d’Aosta Cornalin

Château Feuillet
Discount Eligible $38.00
AT CART MAX

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.

Where the newsletter started

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
