Discover the grape variety: Servanin
Servanin is native to the south of Savoie and the north of Isère. Its berries are short, oval and small to medium-sized. The bunches are full, cylindrical and small, some of them winged, and the bluish-black colour at the beginning turns to dark black when the grapes reach full maturity. Then, as time goes by, small green berries are gradually added to the vine. This curtain is completed by the light green of the medium-sized leaves.servanin is fertile and robust. Its only weak points are millerandage, citadels and mildew. It is less susceptible to grey rot. Although it buds early, it ripens rather late, in the second half of the year. This liqueur, which belongs to the Vin-de-Savoie, has a medium alcoholic and somewhat acidic taste. This wine is also called martelet, servagnin or serene. Unfortunately, it is noted that this variety has nowadays practically disappeared.

This may be because the vineyards are outside the delimited production areas or because the grape varieties or winemaking techniques used do not conform to the rules of the local appellations.
