Fumin is a grape variety indigenous to Valle d’Aosta. In this rendition by Les Crêtes it delivers a solid wine, with good colour and good (red and black) fruit, but with little definition in its expression. It’s a bit blunt and monolithic, with juicy tannins, a slightly metallic acidity and yes, a cold smoke finish. Good enough as a drink with hearty foods, but not very interesting on its own.
