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: Presses
The juice that results from pressing the grapes after fermentation. At the end of the maceration, the vats are emptied, the first juice obtained is called the free-run wine and the marc remaining at the bottom of the vat is then pressed to give the press wine. We say more quickly "the presses". Their quality varies according to the vintage and the maceration. A too vigorous extraction releases the tannins of pips and the wine of press can then prove to be very astringent. Often the winemaker raises it separately, deciding later whether or not to incorporate it totally or partially into the grand vin.
