2022 Valle d’Aosta Cornalin
Château Feuillet
The local grape Cornalin makes a wine on the lighter end of the red spectrum, emphasizing low tannin, bright acidity, spice, and a floral bouquet. It is a bit delicate and capricious, which is probably why it is a relatively rare bird in the world of wine, requiring a meticulous vintner like Maurizio to coax out its elusive finesse and delicacy. This is one of my favorite go-to wines when the weather or the dish calls for a red with more spring in its step.

The grapes are dried for several days after harvest, then pressed and aged in barrel to give an equally lively red with a bit more guts and bass notes.

Fumin truly is, as Feuillet’s vigneron Maurizio Fiorano puts it, “an age-old pearl of local enology.”

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:
1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
