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.

2022 Valle d’Aosta Rosso Torrette Supérieur
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
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.

2019 Valle d’Aosta Moscato Bianco
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
A one-of-a-kind, high-altitude, fully dry Moscato. Bright fruit and granitic minerality in an utterly thirst-quenching package.

2022 Valle d’Aosta Fumin
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
Fumin truly is, as Feuillet’s vigneron Maurizio Fiorano puts it, “an age-old pearl of local enology.”

2023 Valle d’Aosta Torrette
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
True to the region, it has exuberant, piquant fruit, both peppery and floral throughout.

Trust the great winemakers, trust the great vineyards. Your wine merchant might even be trustworthy. In the long run, that vintage strip may be the least important guide to quality on your bottle of wine.—Kermit Lynch
