"A wine with crisp fruit flavors—truly delicious!"

“Still lightly extracted, with a fine, brilliant carmine-garnet color. The texture on the palate is delightful; the Sciaccarellu fruit captivates us right away, while the touch of Cinsault adds a burst of freshness. It’s beautifully balanced in our glasses—flavorful, refined, and easy to drink. A wine that will never tire the palate, free of any artificial oak notes. ” (The RVF Guide 2025)

About the wine:

Still lightly extracted, with a fine, brilliant carmine-red color. The texture on the palate is delightful; the Sciaccarellu fruit captivates us right away, while the touch of Cinsault adds a burst of freshness. It’s beautifully balanced in our glasses—flavorful, refined, and easy to drink. A wine that will never tire the palate, with no artificial oak notes.

About the estate:

Jean-Raphaël Racine-Grisoli and his brother Jean-Vincent have revived the vineyards of Corsica’s only château—and the southernmost in the Calvi appellation—since purchasing it in 2017. Planting began in 2018 and has since expanded to 34 hectares of vineyards. They started from scratch, with virgin soil that they had to “cleanse.” Thanks in large part to their agronomist, as well as to Emmanuel Gagnepain—the winemaker for several leading Corsican estates—they thoroughly studied the soils, ensuring that each grape variety is planted in its ideal location. The estate has been Demeter-certified since 2023.
