The 2021 vintage for Vaccelli's reds has been highly rated by the Revue du Vin de France. This particular Granit rouge 2021 underwent a long aging process of almost 30 months in wood, contributing to its 'athlete's build, a fine grain, so elegant'. The winery made a significant move in 2021, switching to purely natural yeasts and volcanic sulphur in vinification to enhance terroir characteristics. 【Highly rated Corsican red from old Sciaccarellu vines, known for its elegance and complexity, with long aging in wood】. Tasting notes reveal silky tannins, refined fruit, freshness, complexity, and elegance. Expect a profile rich in red fruit notes like raspberry and strawberry, complemented by earthy nuances of leather, minerals, and earth. Oak aging contributes notes of oak, vanilla, and cigar box, alongside hints of mint, pepper, and dried herbs. 🍴 Food Pairing: This elegant red pairs wonderfully with veal, game (such as deer or venison), and various poultry dishes like duck, goose, and other game birds. It's also an excellent match for a traditional spit-roast suckling Corsican pig, or with mild and soft cheeses. 🥂 Event Suggestions: Ideal for a sophisticated dinner, a gathering celebrating regional specialties, or for those exploring unique and high-quality Mediterranean red wines. Decanting for about an hour before serving at 18°C is recommended to allow its full complexity to unfold.
