Grain Cornalin - 2012
Biodynamic
Old variety from Valais (Switzerland) was renamed Cornalin in 1972.
Originally from Valle d'Aosta, it was probably introduced into the Valais region a very long time ago via the Great St Bernard Pass, while it has disappeared from its valley of origin. On the edge of extinction in Valais, it was saved by a handful of enthusiasts in the 1970
