Germanier Cornalin Classique

The Cornalin originally comes from the Italian Aosta Valley, but is now mainly found in Switzerland. There they also call it Humagne Rouge. He is known for producing spicy wines with structure, black fruit and a somewhat 'earthy' character. The Swiss like to combine it with game dishes.

This one from winemaker Jean-René Germanier has expressive cherry fruit in its taste. We recognize the black fruit of elderberries and blueberries. The wine is slightly licorice and has digestible tannins. Fresh and lively, but it really needs some time in the glass to reveal itself completely. We're going to try it on a deer's back, Swiss style.
