Discover the best wines made with Humagne rouge as a single variety or as a blend of Vetroz.
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.
Swiss Valais Grand Cru commune since 1990, heart of the central vineyard. Amigne signature indigenous white (~70% of world production here, mentioned 1686): ample and structured with notes of candied mandarin, apricot, honey, linden, dried fruit and soft spices, from dry to luscious (bee system: 1=dry, 2=medium-sweet, 3=sweet). Floral sparkling Chasselas, saline and lively Petite Arvine, taut Heida in whites. Gamay and Pinot Noir in silky Alpine reds.
