Les Cretes Fumin 2024

Les Crêtes Fumin 2024 is a distinctive red from Italy’s Aosta Valley, made entirely from the local Fumin grape. It captures the character of heroic Alpine viticulture with a style that is both expressive and refined, shaped by the Charrère family’s long-standing commitment to the region’s traditions since 1750.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows an intense ruby red color with violet reflections, immediately suggesting freshness and depth. The nose is fruit-driven yet layered, with hints of leather and spice adding complexity. On the palate, this is a full-bodied and juicy wine with an aromatic profile that feels generous and well-defined. Soft tannins frame notes of vanilla, juniper, and tobacco, while the finish is long and persistent, leaving a distinct impression of liquorice. With its structure and balance, it should age gracefully for a few years.

Production
Made from 100% Fumin, this wine comes from the Aosta Valley, where mountain conditions and small-scale, heroic vineyard work shape wines with real personality. The grapes are harvested by hand in mid-October to ensure optimal ripeness, then aged for 12 months in 300-liter French oak barrels before spending a further 6 months in bottle to refine its texture and harmony.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted red meats, game, braised dishes, and rich Alpine cuisine, as well as aged cheeses and mushroom-based recipes. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for about 30–60 minutes to allow the aromas and spice notes to open fully.

Producer
Les Crêtes is one of the leading names in the Aosta Valley, known for producing wines that reflect both the landscape and the heritage of the region. The Charrère family has preserved the values of heroic viticulture for generations, blending tradition with precision and helping to establish the estate as a benchmark producer in northern Italy.
