Tasting Notes

Aroma

Very distinctive in style, dominated by fruity (pomegrante) aromas which evolve towards notes of pepper and spice on the finish.

Appearance

The Fiumeseccu Rouge is pale cherry in colour.

Palate

It is light yet with some good fruit flesh over racy acidity and fine, delicate tannins.

Vinification

The grapes are fully de-stemmed and wild fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks with 8 to 12 days of maceration. The wine is bottled young and fresh, following 6 months in tank.

Food Matching

A perfect accompaniment to local specialities such as veal and olive stew, mushroom paté or Charcuterie (cured meats, in particular from pork).

Region Notes

The 40 hectare vineyard is composed of several south-facing parcels and is split into two different parts. The first is located north of the convent, near to Zilia, and the second is situated 10 km west of the village of Calenzana, in the upper Figarella valley. The Alzipratu vineyards are planted primarily to traditional Corsican varieties, and lie at the foothills of Monte Grossu (the peak of which is 1950 m.a.s.l.); and just a few minutes from the coast. As a result, the vines benefit from sharply contrasting climatic influences due to their proximity to both the sea and the mountains.
