Domaine de Vaccelli - Unu Rouge 2024
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.
The Unu Rouge cuvée is made from a selection of Sciaccarellu vines. The harvest is destemmed and then fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats with indigenous yeasts. The aging also takes place in stainless steel vats.
Grape variety: Sciaccarellu
"Unu Rouge 2024 expresses all the finesse of Sciaccarellu from a granite terroir. Fresh nose of small red fruits, tangy cherry, sweet spices and a touch of garrigue. The palate is light, airy, with supple tannins. Ideal with Corsican charcuterie or roast chicken with maquis herbs, it embodies the elegant simplicity of Corsican natural wine."
