Red

Fumin

D.O.P

Intense and austere, this native is the most structured red our land gives us. Its name comes from the smoky gray color of the berries, which are rich in bloom.

Traditionally used in blends for its intense color, it risked extinction in the 1970s when, saved by local Vignerons, it became part of the Aosta Valley DOC. In 1993, it is vinified for the first time in purity by Les Crêtes, proving to be a wine of great elegance, suitable for long bottle aging.
