Domaine de Vaccelli - Red Granite 2022
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 Granit Rouge cuvée is made from a selection of Sciaccarellu vines over 50 years old. Vinification and aging are carried out in eggs and demi-muids.
Grape variety: 100% Sciaccarellu
"The 2022 Granit Rouge seduces with its aromatic intensity, blending ripe black fruits, full-bodied spices, and smoky notes. The palate is powerful, structured by dense tannins and a deep minerality. An ideal wine to accompany a grilled red meat dish or a strong cheese."
