Fumin

Despite existing for at least 200 years, there was little planting of Fumin in recent times until the 1990s.

Fumin is a sibling of Petit Rouge, the most planted grape in Valle d'Aosta.

Fumin ripens during the last week of October and is used as a blending grape for colour and acidity as well as a single variety in it's own right, creating wines with cherry aromas, often oaked to soften the wine.
