Domaine Alzipratu Cuvée Fiumeseccu Rouge 2021 12pack 13.5% 750ml

TASTING NOTES

 

APPEARANCE

Pale cherry in colour.

 

PALATE

It is light yet with some good fruit flesh over racy acidity and fine, delicate tannins.

 

VINIFICATION

The grapes are fully de-stemmed and wild fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks with 8 to 12 days of maceration. The wine is bottled young and fresh.

 

AROMA

Very distinctive in style, dominated by fruity (pomegranate) aromas which evolve towards notes of pepper and spice on the finish.

 

REGION NOTES

The Alzipratu vineyards are planted primarily to traditional Corsican varieties, and lie at the foothills of Monte Grossu (the peak of which is 1950 m.a.s.l.); and just a few minutes from the coast. As a result, the vines benefit from sharply contrasting climatic influences due to their proximity to both the sea and the mountains.

 

GRAPE VARIETY

45% Niellucciu, 30% Sciacarellu, 15% Elegante (Grenache) and 10% Syrah.

The palate is richly textured but with exquisite acid balance and the benchmark saline minerality at its core. Long and satisfying.

The grapes were harvested at optimum ripeness levels in the first week of September. The wine was vinified and aged for 4th months in clay jars, during which time the wine is stirred daily to increase contact with the lees. The traditional clay jars are very porous, giving the wine its distinctive complexity - testimony to another winemaking era.

Variety: Niellucciu, Sciaccarellu, Elegante and Syrah.
Region: Corsica
