Tasting Notes: Intense ruby red color with notes of purple. The nose offers notes of red fruits and spices. The palate is silky, with a very pleasant and generous attack, and well-integrated tannins.
A fragrant and fresh blend of 50:50 local Nielluccio and Merlot grapes, grown on
sandy and loam soils on the sheltered eastern side of the Island. Handpicked in the
morning to retain freshness, the grapes are partly destemmed, fermented in steel
tank at a cool temperature to retain acidity and then partly aged in used French
oak for around four months.
Located in the town of Aghione, on the east coast of the island of Corsica, the
Barcelo estate bought by Daniel Barcelo 15 years ago, expresses all the attributes
of a high-end Corsican wine. The well-oriented floors are located between sea and
mountain. The harmony of continental and indigenous grape varieties on this
recognized "Terroir" gives elegance and aromatized wines with high potential.
