Clos Venturi `1769` Rouge Corse AOC from Corsica, France, is a captivating still red wine. This dry blend of Sciaccarellu and Niellucciu grapes is largely fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks, with a portion aged in used oak foudres for 12 months, resulting in a wine of remarkable depth. It offers lifted aromas of raspberries, red currants, and blackberries, complemented by hints of chocolate and lightly toasted oak. The palate reveals juicy black cherry and blackberry fruit, married with cinnamon spice and well-rounded tannins, leading to a complex and satisfying finish. This organic and vegetarian-friendly wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb or mature hard cheeses.

Vinification
Upon arrival at the winery, the hand-harvested grapes were destemmed and gently crushed. 90% of the must was fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks, and the remainder was fermented in oak casks. Following 20 days of post-fermentation maceration, equal parts were aged for 12 months in concrete tanks and oak foudres respectively. The wine was blended and bottled without fining and with a light filtration.
Flavour profile
This captivating red wine offers a vibrant bouquet of red and black fruits, complemented by subtle hints of chocolate and toasted oak. On the palate, juicy black cherry and blackberry notes are beautifully integrated with a touch of cinnamon spice, leading to a well-rounded and satisfying finish.
Serving recommendation
