Fumin Vine Rovettaz 2018 Vallee d'Aoste DOC Grosjean Grand Mountain Wines

Fumin Vigne Rovettaz 2018: intense and authentic Aosta Valley red

Fumin Vigne Rovettaz 2018 is a strong expression of identity from the Aosta Valley DOC, crafted by Grosjean. It comes from a historic vineyard in the municipality of Quart and interprets the Fumin grape with a deep, tense, and territorial style, capable of uniting fruit maturity, aromatic precision, and an elegant tannic structure. It is an Italian red wine that clearly tells the story of the mountains, heroic viticulture, and the artisanal care of the producer.

Territory and wine style

The Rovettaz vineyard is located at about 550 meters above sea level, on a very steep slope well exposed to the south and southwest. The dry, ventilated, and bright climatic context favors a slow and complete ripening of the grapes, with a wide temperature range that helps preserve freshness and balance. The soils, sandy-clay and partly clay-sandy, are shallow and rich in skeleton: conditions that give the wine tension, personality, and a sensation of mineral energy. Vineyard management follows organic and eco-compatible criteria, in line with a production philosophy attentive to environmental respect and raw materials.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents itself with a deep ruby red. On the nose, a complex and measured profile emerges, where ripe red fruit, particularly the marasca cherry, intertwines with delicate spicy nuances and hints of underbrush. On the palate, the wine is dry, with a clear but not aggressive tannic presence; the tannins are soft, long, and well integrated. The structure is solid without weighing down the sip, supported by a freshness consistent with the alpine territory. The finish is persistent and invites further evolution in the bottle.

Recommended pairings

Fumin Vigne Rovettaz 2018 pairs well with flavorful and structured dishes, such as roasted red meats, braised dishes, game, and stews. It is also very interesting with aged mountain cheeses and traditional Aosta Valley recipes, where the savory component and the depth of the wine find excellent harmony. Its personality also makes it suitable for dishes with mushrooms, rich polenta, and grilled meats.

Serving temperature

The ideal serving temperature for Fumin Vigne Rovettaz 2018 is between 16 and 18 °C. If the wine has been stored for a long time or if you want to enhance its evolution, it may be helpful to open it in advance to encourage slight oxygenation.
