On the palate, the wine is powerful, aromatic and long-lasting. Aromas of candied citrus fruit, red fruit, cocoa and tobacco blend harmoniously, underpinned by subtle, elegant tannins that add great finesse.

The sommelier info

Based on the Solera principle, this Réserve Perpétuelle wine is enriched each year with an additional vintage. The current cuvée is made from the 2015 to 2022 vintages, with a blend of Sciacarellu, Minustellu and Niellucciu, planted on specific plots to reflect the viticultural history of Sartène.

The soil is composed of decomposed granitic arena, forming silts and sands, with parcel-by-parcel selection. The vines, planted on south-east-facing slopes, benefit from a wide temperature range thanks to the Cagna mountain.

This red wine made by Castellu di Baricci ferments naturally, without the addition of yeast. After a 5-week vatting period, the wine is matured in oak tuns and demi-muids for 18 months, with a blend of 30% Minustellu, 30% Sciacarellu and 30% Niellucciu.
