Description

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.
