Humagne rouge
Wild wine
With this wine, the choice is yours: drink it young, when its lush berry fruit takes centre stage – or allow it to mature for three to five years and discover its wilder side. Even in its youth, the Humagne Rouge displays exciting floral and subtle leathery nuances, which become even more pronounced with time. These are complemented by notes of smoke, undergrowth and pepper.The question of where it fits seems almost unnecessary: in the wild, of course. Its origins are confusing. The Humagne grape variety should have actually been called Cornalin. It is identical to the Cornalin from the Italian Aosta Valley. Another Valais grape – the Rouge du Pays – was erroneously named after this, which in turn operates mostly as Cornalin. Thus they are both falsely named.
