Tasting Notes

Aroma

Very distinctive in style, characterised by red fruit (pomegranate) aromas and scrubland herbal notes.

Appearance

The Pumonte Rouge is pale ruby in colour.

Palate

The palate is rich and ample, well-structured yet with velvety smooth tannins. A very distinctive wine.

Vinification

The grapes are fully de-stemmed and wild fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks with 15 days of maceration. The wine is aged in truncated cone shaped tanks (60%) and in barrel (40%) for 12 months.

Food Matching

A perfect accompaniment to local specialities such as wild boar and myrtle, veal and ham meatballs or stuffed eggplant with sheep or goats milk cheese.

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.
