Two thirds of the cultivation area is in Vétroz ( Canton Valais , CH). The yield is 2 dl per square meter.

The finished wine has around 14 percent alcohol by volume; Residual sugar about 90 g / l.

Given its very sweet and aromatic taste, Mitis is often enjoyed with cheese (preferably soft cheese or blue cheese ) and with fresh liver.

The Amigne grape variety was probably brought to Switzerland by the Romans ( Vitis Amoena = "benevolent, pleasant vine").
