Producer

Domaine Barcelo

Located in the town of Aghione, on the east coast of the island of Corsica, the Barcelo estate bought by Daniel Barcelo 15 years ago, expresses all the attributes of a high-end Corsican wine. The well-oriented floors are located between sea and mountain. The harmony of continental and indigenous grape varieties on this recognized "Terroir" gives elegance and aromatized wines with high potential.

Tasting Notes

Intense ruby red color with notes of purple. The nose offers notes of red fruits and spices. The palate is silky, with a very pleasant and generous attack, and well-integrated tannins.

Food Matches

This fresh and supple wine goes perfectly with soft cheeses and grilled meats.

Vinification

A fragrant and fresh blend of 50:50 local Nielluccio and Merlot grapes, grown on sandy and loam soils on the sheltered eastern side of the Island. Handpicked in the morning to retain freshness, the grapes are partly destemmed, fermented in steel tank at a cool temperature to retain acidity and then partly aged in used French oak for around four months.
