Character, style, and territory
The Cornalin is a red grape variety deeply connected to Valle d’Aosta, where it finds ideal conditions to express clear aromas, balanced structure, and a distinct taste profile. In this wine-growing area, the mountains decisively influence the character of the wines: temperature excursions, altitudes, and soils contribute to defining fresh, tense, and at the same time complex profiles.
The selection includes wines that fit into this context with different but complementary approaches. Broblan DOC 2022 Cornalin Anselmet represents a direct and contemporary interpretation of the grape variety, while Torrette Vigna Rovettaz 2017 Vallée d’Aoste DOC Grosjean and Le Prisonnier 2023 red wine DOC Anselmet enrich the proposal with nuances that engage with the local tradition and the expressive variety of the Valle d’Aosta territory.
Why choose this selection
This collection is ideal for those who wish to discover less conventional Italian red wines, but of great enological and gastronomic value. The selected labels offer a precise and interesting drinking experience, suitable for both enthusiasts in search of rare wines and those who want to delve into the production of Valle d’Aosta through reference producers like Anselmet Vini and Grosjean.
The common thread is the ability to tell the story of a unique territory with intense yet measured wines, suitable for those who love bottles with a strong identity, verticality, and a pleasant ability to accompany food.
Recommended pairings
