Deep ruby in colour. A blend of three indigenous varieties, Sciaccarellu, Niellucciu and Minustellu, aged 18 months in large oak foudres, this opens with dark cherry, ripe pomegranate and red plum, given a warm lift of nutmeg spice. On the palate it is immediately approachable, silken in texture, with fine-grained tannins that never impose and a freshness that keeps things lively. Medium acidity and a clean, satisfying finish. There is something familiar and immediately likeable here, the kind of red that could sit happily alongside any number of dishes, yet it retains a distinctly Corsican intrigue that elevates it well above the merely easy-drinking. A young domaine, established in 2017, already making wines of real character.
