DOMAINE DE VACCELLI, A FAMILY HERITAGE

Domaine Vaccelli was created in 1960 by Roger Courrèges and passed on to his son Alain in 1974. The family began by building a Domaine de Vaccelli winery and uprooting the old vines already present to replace them with grape varieties such as Alicante, Cinsault, Sciaccarellu or Grenache and Muscat of Alexandria. In 1961, the Courrèges family began to cultivate this granite terroir, constituting the southern part of the Ajaccio appellation. It is today Gérard Courrèges, who manages the magnificent Domaine Vaccelli Corse, handed down from father to son.

Domaine Vaccelli has been in organic farming under the Ecocert label for several years now. It is therefore characterized by fine and elegant wines, which distances it from the standards of the appellation but makes its originality.

At Vaccelli, the wines are matured in demi-muids and in concrete eggs and respect for the island’s biodiversity is paramount.
