Discover the grape variety: Goron de Bovernier

Its origin is most certainly Valdôtaine (Italy), still cultivated in the Entremont Valley in the Swiss Valais and totally unknown in other countries. It is the result of a natural cross between a still unknown or even extinct variety and the Cornalin du Valais or rouge du pays. It is the grandson of the humagne rouge or petit rouge and would also have genetic links with the rèze and the chasselas. The Goron de Bovernier is registered in the Official Catalogue of wine grape varieties list B.
