Cornalin
Price range: $18.00 to $56.00
Late-ripening, capricious, and difficult to work with, Cornalin was nearly abandoned in the mid-20th century. Fortunately, the patience and perseverance of a few visionary winemakers mean that we can still enjoy it today. Powerful and structured, yet remarkably fresh, it offers a deep and authentic expression of the Alpine terroir.
