Fumin La Cor®

D.O.P.

This vintage is the result of a long ageing of our native Fumin grape, a tribute to our historic mill, located in Via Moulins, that, since the 17th century, preserves our collection of wine along with La Cor. The name refers to the internal space of a household that was dedicated to production and exchange of produce. Great priviledge was assigned to this area where bartering took place, at the time. The mill also houses two large millstone for pressing of walnuts to make oil as well as the grinding of grains to make flour. Perfectly preserved are also the utensils for the production of cider and wine.
