1st Jan 2023. Very unusual wine. 15% abv, but quite light. Complex. Energetic.

Domaine de Vaccelli is located in Cognocoli-Monticchi , Corsica . The family estate was purchased in the 1960s by the Courrèges family, after Algeria's independence. Its owner, Gérard Courrèges (son of Alain Courrèges) has been producing wines under the AOC Ajaccio, Vin de Pays de l'Île de Beauté but also Vin de France wines since the 1970s. Today, the vineyard covers 27 hectares planted with many varieties including many of the indigenous varieties of Corsica. The vineyard is run in certified organic farming .

The cuvée Sirocco Rouge is a blend of two indigenous varieties: Sciaccarellu and Elegànte . The wine is aged for 12 months in concrete eggs for 1/3, and the rest in demi-muids , partly new. Sirocco has a cellar potential of 8 to 10 years.

In mouth, it is a silky wine, with finesse and a nice length. There are also floral notes, black fruits and sweet spices aromas.

A surprisingly delicate & joyful (declassed) Cahors from old vine Malbec aged in clay & concrete.
Blue fruit on the forefront with huckleberries, blueberries, a touch of blackberry. But there’s a darker, earthier undertone with turned earth, toast & blood .
On the palate it’s smooth & juicy with the tannins polished, juicy & not rustic at all.
Nice depth & energy and great drinkability!
Even better on day 2 with the purity of the fruit shining! Very, very food friendly and dangerously drinkable! A joyful discovery! — 9 months ago

Cor intensa mas não vibrante. Corpo médio. Aroma de frutas e um pouco de álcool. O sabor é de vinho maduro e com amadeirado bem evidente. — 3 years ago
