Formerly known as Rouge du Pays, Cornalin is mentioned in 1313 in a notarial deed, the Registre d'Anniviers. Difficult to work and not very productive, it almost disappeared in the 20th century. Over the last twenty years, its intrinsic qualities have brought it back into the limelight and made it one of the winegrowing symbols of the Valais canton.

A slow maceration lasting three to four weeks gently extracts the tannins responsible for the color and structure of this red wine. A six-to-eight-month ageing period in vats, during which the second fermentation takes place, concludes the elaboration of this specialty.
Ruby tinged with violet hues.
The spicy, fruity bouquet is characterized by notes of black cherry, blueberry and clove, mingled with a hint of vanilla that is as elegant as it is discreet.
Spicy aromas reveal a full-bodied palate with rustic accents balanced by silky tannins that gain in nobility and complexity over time.
Cornalin is the perfect accompaniment to game, grilled meats, wild poultry and hard cheeses.
