Profile
Giulio Moriondo became a winemaker solely out of the passion he has for Valdostana wines and their curious grapes. By day he is a professor at the local Agricultural University (not in oenology), by night and weekends he tends his small parcels of old vines and makes wine in the cellar of his house. His production is minuscule, but his wines are legendary in the region. He has been micro-vinifying fumin, pinot noir, petit rouge, cornalin and vien de nus for over twenty years. The wines are made without any inoculation, with long maceration on the skins and no filtration. Minimal S02 is used at bottling.

VdT Balteo: 85% fumin and 15% cornalin. Little known fact, cornalin in Aosta is not the same as cornalin in the Valais of Switzerland. It's what would be called humagne rouge in switzerland, a descendent of Swiss cornalin. However, swiss cornalin is descended from petit rouge and vien de nus from Aosta.
