Alpina 2024

Valentina Andrei is a small independent wine estate based in Saillon, in the canton of Valais (Switzerland). She practices artisanal viticulture with great respect for nature: terraced vineyards on steep slopes, manual work, low yields, and a strong focus on expressing local or indigenous grape varieties.

The wine Alpina is part of the estate’s range. It is presented as a wine of Valais origin. In line with the estate’s philosophy, Alpina embodies a “pure, mineral and precise” style — with minimal intervention, natural or low-input winemaking, and a clear intent to reflect the true character of the Valais vineyard landscape.

Appearance: Dark ruby with garnet highlights, dense and bright.

Nose: Roasted notes (tar, coffee), followed by sweet spices, licorice, oak moss, and dark fruits.

Palate: Juicy and fleshy, with fine tannins. Still oaky, but a promising finish on black fruit and spice.

Food Pairing: Grilled red meat, beef stew, lamb navarin, or game dishes.

Serving Temperature: 15 to 17°C.
