Wines made from Humagne rouge grapes of Martigny
Discover the best wines made with Humagne rouge as a single variety or as a blend of Martigny.
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.
Heart of the Swiss Lower Valais at the bend of the Rhône, ~120 ha of steep terraced vineyards on dry-stone walls at the foot of the Alps. Fendant (Chasselas) as the everyday white, but above all Valais specialties — Petite Arvine, an endemic variety, as a refined white with lively citrus, glycine and a saline-mineral hint; opulent Humagne Blanche and Ermitage. Cornalin ("Rouge du Pays") as a rare signature red with griotte cherry, blackberry and floral notes. Sun-drenched Syrah.
