Domaine de Vaccelli Granit '174' Rouge 2022

Grape: Sciaccarellu
Vintage: 2022
Type: Red

From the South of Corsica, Domaine Vaccelli has 25 hectares of vines planted on granitic slope, in the AOC of Ajaccio. Created in 1960, and farming organically for several years now. Sensational inaugural vintage of a 174 Bianco, where you can get the sea breeze on the nose, tarttiness and great persistance through the finish. 

Vaccelli’s Granit Rouge is from Sciaccarellu grapes grown on a small 0.174 hectare plot within the 1.32 hectare old vine parcel on "Sciaccarellu du Milieu" planted on a south-east facing granite slope. Granit ‘174’ is a micro-cuvée from the Domaine de Vaccelli made from the local grape variety, Sciaccarellu. Granite ‘174’ is rare.

Deep nose carried by notes of black cherry, blackberry, sweet spices, hint of leather. The palate has great finesse, silky tannins and endless length.
