Tasting Notes: Cornalin is a native vine in the Valle d'Aoste, the first strains gathered were cultivated just near the town of Jovençan where Le Clocher is located. Le Clocher Cornalin has a ruby color with purple hues. The floral and fruit-forward aromas blend gently with dark berry and exotic spice flavors. The low tannin and freshness on the palate make this a versatile wine for many dishes at the table.
Estate History: Le Clocher was founded officially in 1995, but has been in the family of Danilo Charrere for many generations mostly producing wine for personal consumption. The real passion was passed on to Danilo by his grandmother Eulalia who taught him ‘to love this job and teaching me her skills’. Mattia Nicoletta is the consultant winemaker.
The vineyards total about 4 hectares and are from 600 – 900 meters asl. While most estates in the Valle d’Aosta produce wines from cooperative growers, Le Clocher is the rare example of an estate that owns and maintains their own vineyards.
