2020 Clos Fornelli Corse Niellucciu Rouge, Corsica, France
$18.99
Niellucciu is the local Corsican name for Sangiovese.
From vines near the eastern coast of Corsica, below the massif of Castagniccia. The proximity of the sea protects the vineyard from excessive drought, while the neighboring mountains (which reach a height of more than 2500 meters) generate cool air at night that refreshes the grapes and allows them to recover from the stress of the day-time heat. The wine is vinified and age in concrete vats. This is super lifted, fresh, and super delicious.
