The sommelier info

Castellu di Baricci Corse Sartène Rosé captivates at first sight with its very pale, brilliant pink colour, tinged with salmon hues. On the nose, it reveals a subtle, refined bouquet, where aromas of white-fleshed fruit, such as juicy peach, blend perfectly with a light floral touch, evoking the freshness of spring. On the palate, the attack is very fresh, with a lovely liveliness that gradually expands to give way to an aromatic return to the fruit, reinforcing the sensation of purity and lightness. This rosé stands out for its fullness, revealing a round texture and a long finish that prolongs the pleasure on the palate. An elegant wine, both delicate and powerful, ideal for moments of conviviality.

The vineyards of Castellu di Baricci are located on decomposed granite arena soils, composed of silt and sand. Facing south-east on slopes, it benefits from a wide temperature range thanks to the Cagna mountain (1400 m). The estate grows 2.7 hectares of Sciaccarellu and Grenache grapes under the Sartène PDO. The vines are cordon de Royat pruned, with manual green harvesting and light ploughing, while favouring clay-based phytosanitary treatments.

After cooling overnight, the whole bunches are lightly pressed in a pneumatic press, then the juice ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats at 9°C. After settling, fermentation lasts over a month at between 16 and 18°C, followed by 6 months' ageing in stainless steel on fine lees.
