The wine region of Ile de Beaute
IGP covering all Corsica, complement to the 9 AOCs. Three noble natives as signatures. Powerful Niellucciu red (Sangiovese's brother) with signature notes of black cherry, blackberry, garrigue, leather and a spicy touch, firm tannins. Finer spicier Sciaccarellu (strawberry, pepper, maquis).
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.
