Originally from Tuscany and famous in Corsica, our Nielluccio has found a fantastic terroir to develop on Rhone terraces of rolled pebbles and an ideal Mediterranean climate. Fifty percent of the harvest is machine harvested at full maturity. Barely trampled, it is vatted for a two-week maceration time with daily pumping over. Fifty percent of the harvest is hand-picked and collected in small capacity boxes to be vinified in carbonic maceration. The two vats are blended in December, then aged in stainless steel vats for a year. This cuvée a perfect balance or fruitiness and freshness. It brings pure pleasure for the taste buds. Perfect to pair with cold cuts and red meats.
