2025 Clos Fornelli AOP Corse "Clos Rouge"

A red wine from Clos Fornelli in eastern Corsica produced with indigenous Corsican varieties. The vineyard is situated on the plains above the terraces of the Bravone River with deep, infertile soils composed of clay, alluvial, and slate. The cooler Mediterranean microclimate created by the Castagniccia mountains helps preserve freshness and aromatics. The wine is produced with low yields and ripe grapes to bring out the terroir. Deep, brilliant purple colour with ruby highlights. Well-structured with present but silky tannins, promising good ageing potential. Serving temperature: 20°C.
