Domaine de Vaccelli - Rosé 2014
Domaine de Vaccelli is located in Cognocoli-Monticchi , Corsica . The family estate was purchased in the 1960s by the Courrèges family, after Algerian independence. Its owner, Gérard Courrèges (son of Alain Courrèges), has been producing wines under the AOC Ajaccio, Vin de Pays de l'Île de Beauté and Vin de France appellations since the 1970s. Today, the vineyard covers 27 hectares planted with numerous grape varieties, a large proportion of which are indigenous grape varieties . The vineyard has been managed using certified organic farming methods since 2019.
Vaccelli Rosé is made from Sciaccarellu vines, grown on granite sandstone hillsides. The wine is aged on lees in barrels for 12 months, followed by 6 months in concrete egg vats.
Grape variety: 100% Sciaccarellu
"The Vaccelli Rosé 2014 is an oenological UFO. Its pale copper color surprises, its nose evokes dried fig, orange peel, and sweet spices. The palate, full-bodied and textured, develops tertiary aromas rare in a rosé. Yes, a rosé over 10 years old can captivate purists!"
