Known in Italy as Cornalin d'Aoste, Humagne Rouge bears no resemblance to Ouriou, Humagne Blanche or Cornalin Valaisan, despite persistent legends to the contrary. Now grown exclusively in the Valais, this speciality was for a long time on the fringes of the market. Over the last two decades, however, it has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity, with the area under cultivation increasing year on year.
Humagne Rouge is the perfect accompaniment to game, grilled meats, wild poultry and hard cheeses.
