Fresh, fruity reds and rosés best drunk young, with a light ruby to deep pink robe, silky tannins and an airy palate with fresh acidity, showing signature aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry) and floral notes. Also a base for sparkling wines. Grown in Germany and Canada, used mainly for Weissherbst (quality German rosés) and sparkling wines. German black grape obtained in 1928 at Geisenheim (Riesling × Trollinger).

The wine region of Vin de Corse
Regional AOC covering the Île de Beauté outside the communal AOCs, Mediterranean climate on granite and schist. Signature native trio. Niellucciu as deep red (cousin of Sangiovese): black cherry, blackberry, garrigue, maquis, leather and spices, firm tannins. 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: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
