From a half-hectare of the Rovettaz vineyard's steeply sloped, south-facing terrain, this Cornalin expresses the Valle d'Aosta's rare mountain intensity. Grosjean's spontaneous fermentation and 8-month aging in foudres preserve the wine's subtle herbaceous character and red cherry fruit. Full-bodied, lively, and built for the cellar, it embodies the integrity and mountain spirit that define the Grosjean family's work at high altitude.

"The 2023 Cornalin Vigne Rovettaz is plush and seductive. Soft contours reinforce that first impression. Dark-hued fruit, spice, licorice, tobacco, blood orange and a healthy kick of French oak all meld together in the glass. The 2023 is exceptionally vivid and delicious. I do wonder how much nuance the strong oak is covering. Even so, this is irresistible." —Antonio Galloni

More about Grosjean

Four hundred years of mountain winemaking in Valle d'Aosta—on terrain so steep it requires hiking to tend. In 2011, Grosjean became the first in the region to earn organic certification, and their seven hectares now dance with 11 indigenous grape varieties and select internationals. Made with integrity from high-altitude sites, these are gorgeous wines built for places where the air is thin and pure.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine:

First produced by the Grosjean family in the 2005 vintage, this local grape variety is not to be confused with the Cornalin of the Valais, where this cultivar is known as Humagne Rouge ... which, to further complicate matters, is not the Humagne of the Vallée d’Aoste! From a half-hectare of vines in the south-facing, steeply sloped Rovettaz vineyard in the village of Quart, with sandy glacial moraines soils. The grapes are destemmed and ferment spontaneously in 42-hl tronconic wood vats for two weeks, then raised for 8 months in foudres. The wine is subtly herbaceous with dominant notes of red cherry fruit; full bodied and lively, the Cornalin from Grosjean has the potential to be a serious, long-lived wine.
