Chambave Vallée d'Aoste Fumin Petit Rouge
Drinks akin to a Pineau d’aunis - with light aromas of blackberry, pepper, and fig. Best on day 2 and 3. D’Aosta might be the new “it region” before too long.

Nose has crunchy dark berry, walnut, crushed rock, and violet. A little like Loire Cab Franc but friendlier and less pungent. Palate shows lots of flavor in a light-footed frame. Deep, crisp, stone-inflected, ripe, dark berry fruit. Nice balance.
