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.
Chioso Novo Rouge is a single-plot cuvée made from Sciaccarellu from mass selection and top-grafted in 2019 onto Grenache Noir vines planted in 1964. The wine is aged in demi-muids.
Grape variety: 100% Sciaccarellu
"The Chioso Novo Rouge 2022 seduces with its aromas of ripe red fruits and sweet spices, supported by a silky structure and fine oak. A plot signature to reveal all the finesse of Corsican Sciaccarellu."
