Wines made from Humagne rouge grapes of Valle d'Aosta
Discover the best wines made with Humagne rouge as a single variety or as a blend of Valle d'Aosta.
Structured, wild reds with a sustained ruby robe, firm tannins and fresh alpine acidity, with aromas of red fruit (cherry, raspberry), violet, garrigue, spice, dried herbs and characteristic animal notes. Dense palate, fine ageing potential. Star of the great Valais reds on the sun-drenched slopes of the Swiss Rhône (Sierre, Salquenen, Chamoson). Autochthonous Aosta Valley variety, identical to Cornalin d'Aoste in Italy, with no genetic link to Humagne Blanche.
Italy's smallest vineyard (~500 ha) between Mont Blanc and Canavese, among Europe's highest vines (up to 1,200 m at Morgex). Native Petit Rouge signature: fine, fresh reds with signature notes of raspberry, violet, alpine herbs, sweet spices and a mineral touch, silky tannins. Local Cornalin, Fumin and Mayolet complete. Firm Nebbiolo (Picotendro), light Gamay.
