2023 Domaine de Vaccelli, Ajaccio Rouge, Granit

Domaine de Vaccelli was established in 1962 by the Courrèges family and remains a leading estate in the Ajaccio appellation, where they have championed organic farming for decades. This red is made from Sciaccarellu grapes, sourced from parcels with vines over 45 years old planted in the region's signature decomposed granite soils. In the glass, it reveals deep notes of black cherry, blackberry, and a distinct hint of leather, all held together by a silky, refined structure. The 2023 vintage contributes a polished, balanced profile that captures the clear, mineral-driven character typical of these historic hillside vineyards. This wine offers impressive depth and is ready to enjoy tonight, though it possesses the structural integrity to develop further in the cellar.
