Description

Grosjean Vallee d'Aoste Cornalin 'Vigne Rovettaz' 2025First produced by the Grosjean family in the 2005 vintage, this local grape variety is not to be confused with the Cornalin of the Valais, where this cultivar is known as Humagne Rouge which, to further complicate matters, is not the Humagne of the Valle dAoste! From a half hectare of vines in the south facing, steeply sloped Rovettaz vineyard in the village of Quart, with sandy glacial moraines soils. The grapes are destemmed and ferment

After destemming and pressing

Élevage is done in barrel: a mix of new oak (40%)

known as “caillottes” and “griottes” which yield a wine of particularly fine quality and exceptional length

Fermented spontaneously in large neutral-oak casks

thereby further emphasizing its purity and drinkability

but this is raised entirely in stainless steel for six months without any barrel-aging

Height: 220 mm | 8

represents about 10% of the annual production of the domaine

The vines have an average age of 25 years

Since 1983

and beautiful roundness playing off the bubbles
