“Lively notes of apricot on the nose, spirited and vibrant... ” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines). A red that combines the power and finesse of the fruit with a refined and consistently flavorful palate. A beautiful cuvée, rich with the flavors of Corsica!

About the estate:
"In 1991, Bernard Renucci took over the family estate in Féliceto, in Balagne, in the Réginu Valley. The 17 hectares, situated on granitic sandy soils, are planted with the Corsican grape varieties Sciacarellu and Nielluciu, as well as Vermentinu (white), complemented by Syrah and Grenache. The vines are cultivated without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. The wines, available in all three colors, are produced under the Corse Calvi appellation.”

About the estate:
"This hardworking and passionate winemaker runs a 17-hectare estate in the Feliceto Valley plain (Balagne), supplemented by a small hillside plot. Established in 1992 and planted through 2005, the vineyard has a relatively young average age. But Bernard Renucci perfectly compensates for this minor temporary setback through careful yield management, a focus on ripeness, and meticulous winemaking. Vignola, the estate’s sole cuvée, beautifully captures in the bottle this delicate balance between these various factors, resulting in generous wines that nonetheless preserve the finesse of this alluvial terroir.”
