Lafnetscha
About this grape variety
Lafnetscha is an ancient grape variety from Upper Valais, making complex, ageworthy wines.
Its name derives from "Laff nit scha", which is the local dialect for "Don’t drink yet" – a reference to the wine’s high natural acidity and consequent cellaring potential.
Contrary to its etymology, these wines can be drunk young, however, they also age well.
