Grosjean 'Vigne Rovettaz' Cornalin Vallée d'Aoste, 2019

Grosjean 'Vigne Rovettaz' Cornalin Vallée d'Aoste, 2019

Regular price $32.00

This wine is made of 100% Cornalin, an indigenous grape varietal to the Valle d'Aosta and southern Switzerland. We would pair it with a lighter cut of steak like Filet Mignon. The grapes are grown on the steeply sloped Rovettaz vineyard, which sits at 500-700 meters in altitude. The wine is bright and aromatic boasting alpine herbs and flowers. It is elegant and acidic with dark cherry and raspberry flavors, and the softest tannins. First produced in the 2005 vintage, the Cornalin from Grosjean has the potential to be a serious, long-lived wine and is Biodynamic Certified.

Details

From our Importer: The Grosjean family traces its roots back to the village of Fornet in the high mountain passes of the Valle d’Aosta known as Valgrisenche where they raised cattle. During the summer months, the family cultivated grapes and chestnuts on the slopes at lower altitude, stocking up on wine to supply themselves over the long winters. In 1969, Dauphin Grosjean, the father of the five sons that now collaborate to produce the wines of this estate, was encouraged to present his wine at the local “wine expo”. The exceptional quality of his work was recognized and the entire family became engaged in the expansion of the vineyards and in the production of wine.

The estate has now grown to encompass seven hectares of vineyards. The domaine is located in the hamlet of Ollignan on the border of the towns of Quart and Saint Christophe and includes “cru” vineyard sites such as Tzeriat, Rovettaz, Creton and Touren in Quart, plus Tzantè de Bagnere, Merletta and Castello di Pleod in Saint Christophe. After starting out with the traditional Petit Rouge along with some Gamay, Pinot Noir and Petite Arvine, the Grosjeans have planted other local varietals such as Fumin, Cornalin, Premetta and Vuillermin. Sustainable farming techniques have been in place since 1975: only organic fertilizers are applied and no pesticides or herbicides are used. Natural yeasts are utilized for fermentation.
