Rouge du Pays - 3 Treauben (Rouge du nPays, Cornalin, Neyret)

Origin

The variety is one of the oldest grape varieties cultivated in Valais; it was already known as Neyrum at the beginning of the 14th century. The French ampelographer Adrien Berget already suspected in 1903 that the variety originated in the neighbouring Italian Aosta Valley. From the middle of the 19th century, it was increasingly replaced by the Pinot Noir and Gamay varieties and was almost extinct by the middle of the 20th century.

If I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a large amount of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. Keep it up!
