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. A blend of four indigenous corsican varieties, vibrant and textural. A nose with yellow plum, white flowers, honey and lime tree. Generous, soft on the palate, with incredible intensity and great acidity. Notes of ripe apricot and almonds. /p>

Domaine de Vaccelli is a family-run winery located in the southern part of the Ajaccio appellation on the island of Corsica. Owned by the Courrèges family, the estate is renowned for producing elegant, terroir-driven wines from native Corsican grapes. Winemaker Gérard Courrèges, who took over from his father in 2000, has elevated the winery to international recognition. The estate has been farmed organically since 2008 and received organic certification in 2019. All vineyard work is done by hand. Gérard has integrated modern techniques while preserving tradition, using concrete eggs and large demi-muids (600-liter barrels) for fermentation and aging to allow the terroir to shine.
