Producer: Legio Julius by Vins et Vignobles Julius SA
Behind Legio Julius stands Vins et Vignobles Julius SA from Salgesch in Valais. Inspired by the Romans, who were stationed in Valais with the Legio XII Fulminata, an innovative wine project with a deliberately unconventional orientation was created. Alongside classic Valais grape varieties, international varieties such as Arneis, Lagrein, Malbec and Primitivo were also planted. The aim of Legio Julius is to combine tradition, modern vinification and new grape variety ideas into characterful wines with an independent profile.
