WINE DESCRIPTION

Les Crêtes Fumin is a premium red wine produced by Les Crêtes, a renowned winery located in the Valle d'Aosta region of Italy. The wine is made from the Fumin grape variety, which is known for its intense and complex flavors. The vineyards where the grapes are grown are situated at high altitudes, which gives the wine a unique character and a distinct minerality. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied, with rich flavors of dark fruit, spices, and a hint of smokiness. Les Crêtes Fumin is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts who appreciate bold and flavorful red wines with a touch of elegance.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Les Crêtes Fumin is a delightful red wine from the Savoie region of France.This wine has a deep ruby red color with intense aromas of ripe red fruits, earthy spices, and a hint of leather. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with soft tannins and a refreshing acidity. The flavors are of ripe cherry, blackberry, and hints of spice, all wrapped in a velvety mouthfeel. The finish is long and inviting, with a lingering hint of tartness. This is an excellent food wine that pairs perfectly with game, roasted meat, and dishes with a touch of spice.
