The 2020 Domaine Vaccelli Quartz Rouge IGP Ile de Beauté is a polished red wine from Corsica, showcasing the character of the IGP Île de Beauté appellation. Domaine de Vaccelli is a leading producer of modern Corsican wines, focusing on indigenous Corsican grape varieties like Sciaccarellu, Minustellu, and Carcajolo, which form the pillars of the Ajaccio appellation and terroir. The vineyard, committed to manual harvesting and organic farming, received organic certification in 2019. The Quartz cuvée is made from old red grape varieties and aged in concrete eggs and demi-muids. Tasting notes reveal an elegant wine with a subtle yet crunchy, fruity profile. Expect fresh red and black fruits (like red plums, cherries, strawberry, plum), complemented by delicate hints of aniseed, spices, roses, and classic Corsican garrigue spices. The palate is medium-bodied, fine, and refined, with fresh acidity, fine tannins, and a savory finish, imparting energy and drive. It promises to gain more complexity with time in the bottle. 🍴 Food pairing suggestions include charcuterie, game meat, and osso-bucco. Its food-friendly nature also makes it suitable for red and black cherry, wild herbs, pepper, and mineral notes. 🥂 This wine is ideal for a relaxed evening with friends, a Mediterranean-themed dinner party, or as an intriguing choice for those exploring Corsican wines. 【Organic Corsican Red Blend from Indigenous Grapes】
