Fumin vigne Rovettaz Vallee d'Aoste DOC Grosjean Grand Vins de montaigne

Fumin vigne Rovettaz 2018 Vallée d'Aoste DOC

A site of ancient viticultural tradition at 550 m a.s.l. on a steep slope with southern exposure, in a particularly dry and ventilated climate with excellent luminosity and large temperature range during grape ripening, where by our choice, only eco-friendly agronomic techniques are used. After one year of aging, it is bottled and kept at least 6 more months in the bottle before being sold. It has a very intense ruby red color, on the nose it is complex with fruity scents, morello cherry in particular, with not too evident spicy notes and a complexity of underbrush, in the mouth it is dry tannic but not aggressive with soft and long tannins.It likes a long aging in bottle, even 4-5 years.
