MAYOLET

Extremely rare Aosta variety gradually recovering from near-extinction.

Berry colour: black

PRINCIPAL SYNONYMS: Maïolet, Majolet

ORIGINS AND PARENTAGE

Mayolet is an indigenous variety of the Valle d’Aosta, where it has been known since 1787, mainly between Saint-Vincent and Avise. It was traditionally cultivated in the same vineyards as PETIT ROUGE and VIEN DE NUS and typically blended to produce Torrette, a full-bodied late-harvest wine famous since the nineteenth century (Gatta 1838). DNA parentage analysis has established that Mayolet and Petit Rouge are the parents of ROUGE DU PAYS, cultivated across the border in Switzerland’s Valais, and that Mayolet has a parent–offspring relationship with PRIÉ, another Aostan variety (Vouillamoz and Moriondo 2011; see Prié for the pedigree diagram).
