Fumin Esprit Follet

Fumin is an ancient autochthonous vine of the Valley, characterized by a deep skin colour, verging to blue when ripening. This vine with its slow maturation, a traditional wine making process and subsequent passage in various woods, offers us a product with the characteristics of a great wine: fine, elegant and complex. The perfect expression of a unique terroir.
