Dom. Fiumicicoli Corse Sartene Rouge / 2024 / 75cl

Domaine Fiumicicoli’s 2023 Sartène Rouge channels its rugged Corsican birthplace with real clarity. The granitic, nutrient‑poor slopes and long, slow ripening season show in the wine’s lifted aromatics: bright red cherry, wild herbs and a faint mountain‑air freshness that feels unmistakably Mediterranean. Indigenous yeasts and a long maceration lend depth without heaviness, giving the fruit a vivid, almost crystalline edge.

On the palate it’s supple and fleshy, carrying that cherry core into something a little more savoury and rustic—think a nod to Italy just across the water. The structure is gentle but purposeful, a light grip of tannin keeping the wine honest and grounded. It’s a characterful, country red with real charm, shaped by its landscape and all the better for it.
