Fumin 2023, Les Crêtes
The austere elegance of the "cold volcano." A powerful, spicy, and deeply territorial mountain red wine.
Fumin 2023, Les Crêtes
Fumin is the most structured red grape variety of the Aosta Valley. Its name comes from the smoky gray color of its berries, which are rich in bloom. After 12 months of aging in French oak, the 2023 vintage presents a bold character: notes of leather, juniper berries, and tobacco blend with dark, juicy fruit. On the palate, it is enveloping and savory, with noble tannins and a persistent finish that evokes licorice and sweet spices.
