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.
