RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

Parentage: Rouge du Pays & ?

First noted in 1838, Cornalin is an old varietal from the Val d’Aosta that almost disappeared in the 20th century before regaining a healthy level of interest at the outset of the 21st cent.

Referred to as Humagne Rouge in Valais, Switzerland, it is a natural occurring cross of Petit Rouge and, it is believed, Mayolet .

• Humagne Rouge is an ancient red grape variety, also from Valais, not to be confused with Humagne Blanche. It delivers robust, deeply colored wines with firm tannins and flavors of dark berries, herbs, and spices. Known for its rustic character and excellent aging ability, Humagne Rouge thrives in high-altitude vineyards.

• Despite being overshadowed by more internationally known grapes, Humagne Rouge remains an emblem of Swiss red wine heritage and continues to be cultivated by producers dedicated to traditional varieties. (https://sui-wineimports.com/grape-varieties/?age-verified=74a22e31a4)
