Origin
The Valais vineyards are located on the steep slopes of an alpine valley, which makes mechanical harvesting very difficult. Most of the vines grow on these precipitous slopes. To even out the gradient, many terraces were built that are supported by dry stone walls.

Varietal
Cornalin

About the wine
