Varone
Varone produces wines from Valais, Switzerland's largest wine region, where Alpine terrain and continental climate shape distinctive white varietals. The winery works primarily with Chasselas and Johannisberg, grapes that thrive in the region's steep vineyards and mineral-rich soils. Johannisberg Goutte d'Or and Ermitage represent the winery's core offerings, both receiving recognition from Wine Spectator and Decanter. Chasselas, a traditional Valais variety, rounds out the portfolio. These wines reflect the region's character: crisp acidity, floral aromatics, and the subtle salinity that comes from Valais's unique terroir. The winery's focus on white varietals aligns with the region's reputation for precision and elegance in cool-climate viticulture.
