"Still not widely available, this wine has a fine, brilliant carmine garnet color. The texture on the palate is delightful, with the Sciaccarellu fruit immediately seducing us and a touch of Cinsault adding a peak of freshness. It is beautifully balanced in the glass, sapid, refined, and easy to drink. This is a bottle that will never tire the palate, with no artificial woody notes. (Le Guide RVF 2025)

About the estate:
Jean-Raphaël Racine-Grisoli and his brother Jean-Vincent have revived the vineyard of Corsica's only château and the southernmost in the Calvi appellation since purchasing it in 2017. Planting began in 2018 and now covers 34 hectares of vines. They started with a blank slate, virgin soil that they had to "clean up." Thanks in particular to their agronomist, but also to Emmanuel Gagnepain, the oenologist for some of Corsica's leading vineyards, they studied the soil carefully and each grape variety is in its rightful place. Demeter certification has been in effect since 2023.
