Domaine Alzipratu Cuvée Pumonte Rouge 2019 14.5% 750ml

TASTING NOTES

PALATE

The palate is rich and ample, well-structured yet with velvety smooth tannins. A very distinctive wine.

AROMA

Very distinctive in style, characterised by red fruit (pomegranate) aromas and scrubland herbal notes.

APPEARANCE

The Pumonte Rouge is pale ruby in colour.

VINIFICATION

The grapes are fully de-stemmed and wild fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks with 15 days of maceration. The wine is aged in truncated cone shaped tanks (60%) and in barrel (40%) for 12 months.

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

40% Niellucciu, 40% Sciacarellu, 10% Minustellu (Graciano) and 10% Aleatico.
