The 2012 Vallée d'Aoste Mayolet Vin des Seigneurs is a beautiful and delicate red wine. Mayolet is an indigenous grape found in the Valle d'Aosta region that is often blended with the more commonly found Petit Rouge grape. The wine delivers a mild ruby color and lean consistency. It veers towards elegance more than power. The bouquet shows pretty tones of wild raspberry and cranberry. The wine is not aged in wood and this maintains its fresh and tonic approach.
