2023 Valle d’Aosta Fumin
Château Feuillet
Capturing the purity of its mountainous terroir, this Fumin is the sort of bracing refreshment you’d hope to be served at an alpine rifugio, mouth parched from hiking up the steep slopes of Valle d’Aosta. Its vivid aromas of berries and herbs and a mouthwatering acidity are rejuvenating. But the longer you relax in the crisp air, the more complexity emerges with notes of plum and undercurrents of smoke and spice. This rosso’s lingering finish lasts almost as long as the trek down. —M.F.

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.

Great winemakers, great terroirs, there is never any hurry. And I no longer buy into this idea of “peak” maturity. Great winemakers, great terroirs, their wines offer different pleasures at different ages.
