/fˈumin/
N/A
Red
Fumin stands as the premier native red grape variety of Val d’Aosta, holding the title of the region’s most widely cultivated.
Its earliest documented mention dates back to Lorenzo Francesco Gatta in 1838.
With the ability to age gracefully for seven to ten years, Fumin boasts remarkable longevity.
DNA research has revealed Fumin’s parental connection to the lesser-known Valle d’Aosta variety Vuillermin and its sibling relationship with Petit Rouge.
In its prime, a Fumin wine reveals a delightful array of perfumed and spicy notes, harmonizing red fruit flavors with balanced extracts, acidity, and tannins.
Crafted with finesse, Fumin unveils an intense bouquet characterized by black pepper, red fruits, and sweet spices, complemented by a subtle yet persistent green, herbal, and peppery undertone. While it can possess a fleshy and smooth texture, its elevated acidity ensures a light and lively palate experience.
