Les Crêtes Fumin 2021
The name Fumin derives from the smoky grey colour of its berries, rich in bloom. Traditionally used in blends for its intense colour, it risked extinction in the 1970s when, saved by local farmers, it became part of the Valle d'Aosta DOC. It was vinified for the first time in purity by Les Cretes in 1993, proving to be a wine of great elegance, suitable for long ageing in the bottle.

Colour

Deep ruby with purple reflections.

Bouquet

Fruity with hints of leather and spice.

Flavour

Concentrated on the palate, juicy, soft and fruity with smooth tannins and hints of vanilla, graphite, stewed prunes, juniper and liquorice.

Pairing

Meat
Cheese
Pork
