Region: Quart, Vallée d'Aoste, Italy (Valle d'Aosta DOC)
Grapes: 100% Cornalin (Humagne Rouge)
Body: Light to medium
Notes: Alpine and wild. Fresh red cherry, raspberry, dried rose, mountain herbs, and a clean, slightly spicy, mineral finish. Delicate and completely alive — like drinking the Alps.

Grosjean Cornalin "Vigne Rovettaz" is a single-vineyard red from one of the Valle d'Aosta's most celebrated and beloved family estates — Grosjean Vins in Quart, a three-generation organic winery rated nearly perfect by visitors who describe it as "one of the best wines ever" and a "must see if you visit this special territory." The Grosjean family farms their terraced hillside vineyards on steep Alpine slopes with certified organic methods, growing rare indigenous varieties that exist almost nowhere else in the world. Cornalin — known locally as Humagne Rouge — is one of the Valle d'Aosta's most prized and ancient red grapes, producing wines of delicate structure, vivid red fruit, and wild Alpine herb character that are completely unique to this dramatic mountain landscape. "Vigne Rovettaz" is a single parcel expression: native yeast fermentation, minimal intervention, and bottled to capture the raw mountain energy of this extraordinary terroir. Imported by Rosenthal Wine Merchant (RWM) via Élevage.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
