Region: Corsica, France
Vintage: 2019
Grapes: Niellucciu, Sciaccarellu, Syrah
Color: Red
At the heart of Corsica lies Domaine Vico, the only vineyard nestled in the island's mountainous center. Once owned by the Vico family, hence the name, the vineyard's destiny took a twist when it was purchased by the Paoli family. The Paolis, whose roots in Corsican soil run deep, has always been dedicated to preserving the island's unique biodiversity.
Domaine Vico's Vin de Corse Rouge is a testament to this balance between tradition and innovation. This wine's uniqueness lies in its blend of Niellucciu and Sciaccarellu, two grape varieties indigenous to Corsica, that bring together the rich, fruity notes of the former and the spicy undertones of the latter. Hand-harvested and matured in French oak barrels, the Vin de Corse Rouge captures the essence of Corsica's terroir in every sip. Its bold, harmonious flavors embody the spirit of the island - wild, beautiful, and full of character.
