Rating: RVF 15.5/20
"Morta Maïo comes from clay soil. It is an increasingly robust wine, and the 2009 vintage is a perfect example of this. " (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - RVF). An expressive, refined wine with lovely aromas of fresh red fruit, full-bodied with supple, rounded tannins... A great bottle from a splendid vintage!

Rated estate (2012 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the estate:
"A meticulous winemaker and leader in Patrimonio, Antoine Arena is convinced that the identity of Corsican wines depends on healthy viticulture, particularly soil cultivation, as well as winemaking that is as natural as possible. This noble cause also takes into account—and this is essential—the potential of indigenous grape varieties on selected terroirs, enabling the production of a whole range of wines with a strong identity, from the famous Carco à Grotte di Sol to the more recent Morta Maïo. While the estate has experienced excesses in over-ripeness in certain vintages (with "dry" whites with high residual sugar levels) and in the power of the reds, the latest vintages have found a more accurate and precise balance and finesse of extraction. Today, with Antoine's sons, Jean-Baptiste and Antoine-Marie, the estate is experiencing a new impetus, with a particular desire to develop wood-aged wines. This is an estate that has never known a lull!
