Clos Canarelli - Tarra Di Sognu - Rouge 2020
Clos Canarelli is located in Figari , in the south of Corsica . The family estate was taken over by Yves Canarelli in 1992. Passionate about ampelography, Yves Canarelli took the initiative to replant almost extinct local grape varieties: Minustellu, Carcagholu Neru and Genovèse, which are added to traditional Corsican varieties such as Sciaccarellu , the Niellucciu and the Vermentino. Together with Patrick Fioramonti, director and sommelier of the Hotel Cala Rossa, Yves Canarelli replanted from 2010 the first clos of Bonifacio on a plateau overlooking the city, rich in a rare limestone on the island: Tarra di dream The estate has been certified in organic farming since 2002 and in biodynamics since 2006.
Tarra Di Sognu Rouge is a blend of Carcagholu Neru (50%), Sciaccarellu (40%) and Minustellu (10%) . The harvest is completely destemmed and then vinified in wooden vats. The wine is aged for 18 months in foudre and demi-muid .
Grape varieties: 50% Black Wolf, 40% Sciaccarello, 10% Minustello
