Domaine Santa Giulietta Vin de Corse Rouge
WHY WE LOVE IT
- This is a Corsican red with excellent typicity. Average age of the vines 15-20 years old, vines planted on mostly Schist, limestone and clay
Varietal Composition: Niellucciu, Grenache, Syrah
Elaboration: Fermentation of the harvest during 10 to 12 days in temperature controlled tanks. First racking at the end of the alcoholic fermentation, second racking after the malolactic fermentation.
Tasting Notes:Lightly rustic, with bramble and dried anise notes weaving throughout. The core of violet plum sauce and raspberry coulis is pure and vibrant, extending through a lengthy finish. A fun, character-filled wine.

PRODUCER BACKGROUND
Domaine Santa Giulietta has been part of the Stefani family for many generations. Their 75 hectare domaine is situated on top of the Pianiccia plateau, in the Tallone region of the Eastern plain of Corsica. The vineyards are comprised mostly of red clay soils, with perfect sun exposure for maximum maturity of the vines. Additionally the vines also benefit from hot and windy days in the summer with cool nights thanks to their proximity to the island’s mountains
