Note: Guide Hachette 2**(remarkable wine)
"Born from the love affair between Niellucciu and Syrah, this red wine presents itself in a dark, very elegant robe. Its nose of ripe red berries from the maquis heralds a full-bodied, long finish with silky tannins. " (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2010). "One of the jewels in the Skalli family's red wine crown...its value for money should put many pretentious wines from the south of the continent to shame, wines that disgrace the menus of luxury restaurants in the same sector." (Bettane & Desseauve for Le Monde 2).

Food and wine pairings
Ce vin sera le compagnon idéal de viandes grillées ou en sauce, un poulet basquaise ou encore quelques <br/> fameuses spécialités corses : le Stufattu (viande marinée au vin rouge et aromates), le gigot d’agneau aux <br/> herbes du maquis, la charcuterie...<br/>

Winery rated 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Jean-François Renucci took over Clos Poggiale alongside Terra Vecchia, and immediately the wines regained the charm and finesse of the great vintages of the Skalli era. The terroir is suited to all three colors, and the desire to showcase the wines on the continent and as far afield as Asia will benefit Corsican viticulture as a whole.
