Note : RVF 16,5/20
"Sanguin, Carco rouge 2009 boasts a dense color and a beautiful intensity of substance with solid tannins". (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2011 - RVF). The driving force behind Corsica's vineyards, Antoine Arena makes authentic wines that reflect the true identity of local terroirs and grape varieties. Carco rouge is a demonstration in itself of the identity of the Patrimonio terroir and the Nielluccio grape variety. A lovely wine with character and great potential for evolution.

About the domain :
"A meticulous winegrower and Patrimonio leader, Antoine Arena is convinced that the identity of Corsican wines depends on healthy viticulture, in particular tillage, and the most natural winemaking possible. This noble cause also takes into account - and this is essential - the potential conferred on autochthonous grape varieties on selected terroirs, making it possible to produce a whole series of strong identity cuvées, from the famous Cuvée Carco to Grotte di Sol, and the most recent, Morta Maïo. While some vintages have seen excesses of over-ripeness (with "dry" whites with high residual sugar levels) and power in the reds, recent vintages have seen a more accurate and precise balance and finesse of extraction. Today, Antoine's sons, Jean-Baptiste and Antoine-Marie, have given the estate a new impetus, notably with the desire to develop ageing in wood. An estate that has never had a dull moment!
