Discover the grape variety: Valensi
Light, simply fruity reds with a pale ruby colour, soft tannins and a light palate with moderate acidity, featuring understated aromas of red fruits. Discreet Provençal profile. Nearly extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value; it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of southern France and is among the patrimonial varieties under study. Rare French black variety, once grown in Provence.
