Tucked into Italy’s smallest region, Grosjean has long been one of the standard-bearers for mountain wine with a sense of place. Cornalin (also known locally as Humagne Rouge) is native here—fickle, late-ripening, and quietly expressive when grown in the right pocket of slope and sun.

Vigne Rovettaz sits on steep, terraced granite soils at over 600 meters elevation. Farming is organic, the cellar work gentle. The 2022 vintage shows exactly what makes alpine reds so compelling: not power, but clarity. There’s a wild, herbal edge to it, but the wine remains lithe and lifted—more about breeze and brush than berries or oak.

This is red wine for people who like transparency. For drinkers drawn to wines that carry the shape of the land, not the hand. Cornalin Rovettaz isn’t trying to impress—it’s trying to endure.

What importer 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.
