About
An indigenous Corsican red grape found almost exclusively on the granite slopes around Ajaccio. Produces lighter, aromatic reds with peppery, herbal notes and a distinctive smoky spice. Lower in color and tannin than Nielluccio, often compared to a wild, rustic Pinot Noir. Best drunk relatively young.
