2024 Domaine de Vaccelli, Ajaccio Rouge, Unu

Domaine de Vaccelli is located in the Taravo Valley in southern Corsica, where the Courrèges family has managed the estate since Roger Courrèges established it in 1962. This wine is made from Sciaccarellu vines rooted in the decomposed granite soils characteristic of their Ajaccio vineyard sites. In the glass, it displays bright notes of tangy cherry, wild red berries, and a distinct herbal touch of maquis, supported by a light, airy texture and supple tannins. The 2024 vintage highlights the estate's signature finesse, emphasizing a clear expression of fresh fruit and vibrant acidity. This is a balanced, accessible wine ready to enjoy tonight for those seeking a pure representation of the island's granitic terroir.
