Details and technical informations about Clos Sonnenta's Diceppi Rosé.
Discover the grape variety: Nielluccio
Structured and elegant reds with a deep ruby colour, firm tannins and lively acidity, on aromas of cherry, plum, garrigue, Mediterranean herbs (myrtle, rosemary), spices and balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential. The absolute star of Patrimonio AOC on the clay-limestone marls of northern Corsica, a pillar of Ajaccio AOC and the island's reds. Genetically identical to Tuscan Sangiovese, brought to Corsica in the 18th century by the Genoese.

Sciaccarellu as fine peppery red (strawberry, pepper, herbs), also great rosé.
The wine region of Corsica
Mediterranean island wine region with a triple native face, ~8,000 ha. Niellucciu signature (cousin of Sangiovese) dominates Patrimonio: structured reds with signature notes of black cherry, garrigue, maquis, spices and leather, firm tannins and sun-drenched mouth. Sciaccarellu (min. 60% in Ajaccio) lighter and peppery (strawberry, wild herbs).
The word of the wine: Maceration
Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
