2017 Sant Armettu Mytrus Rouge

Sant Armettu Myrtus is considered the most emblematic cuvée of the Sant Armettu estate, combining terroirs from Propriano and Tizzano in Corsica. The blend features the complementary local grape varieties Sciaccarellu and Minustellu, with a touch of Grenache (locally called 'elegante'). This red wine showcases the unique terroir of Corsica's picturesque region through its careful assemblage of two distinct growing areas, creating a wine that is profound, digestible, and generous in character. The wine displays a garnet robe with violet reflections and offers refined, supple fruit that is very fresh, forming a sapid, early-drinking and very velvety whole.
