2023 Domaine de Vaccelli, Ajaccio Rouge

Domaine de Vaccelli is a family-run estate located in Cognocoli-Monticchi in Corsica’s Taravo valley, where the Courrèges family has managed their vineyards since 1962. This wine is made from the native Sciaccarellu grape, grown on rugged, south-east facing slopes composed of decomposed granite arenas. In the glass, it offers bright red fruit, savory herbal notes, and a distinct mineral character supported by silky, fine-grained tannins. The 2023 vintage maintains the estate's signature focus on freshness and aromatic precision despite the Mediterranean climate. This is a balanced, expressive red that is ready to enjoy now but possesses the structure to evolve in the cellar.
