Domaine Sant Armettu L'Ermite Corse Sartène Red 2020

The domain

The vineyard of Sant Armettu has radiated for sixty years in the South of Corsica, perfect representative of the appellation Vin de Corse Sartène. For the small anecdote, the name "Sant Armettu" comes from a hermit (Estate of the "saint Hermit") who had the gift to cure people thanks to plants.

SANT ARMETTU, A FAMILY ADVENTURE

Domaine Sant Armettu overlooks the gulf of Propriano and the bay of Tizzano towards the town of Olmeto. This old estate on the island of beauty was founded by Lucien Seroin, assisted by his son Paul. In 1996, Paul and his son Gilles, representing the 4th generation of winegrowers in Sant Armettu, began bottling directly in the estate’s cellars after the cellar had been created. Afterwards, Gilles Seroin took over completely the Domaine Sant Armettu with the help of his children Jeanne and Guillaume.

THE TRADEMARK OF THE SANT ARMETTU ESTATE

Sant Armettu has a wide variety of native grape varieties, but Gilles Seroin has drawn his inspiration from the Burgundian model for winemaking, thus creating a strong and unique domain imprint. The great vintages of Domaine Sant Armettu are mostly matured in foudres or demi-muids, which allows them to refine their tannic structure while preserving the purest expression of the aromas. Gilles Seroin has quickly become an outstanding winemaker, producing Sant Armettu micro-cellars from ancient Corsican grape varieties.

SANT ARMETTU WINES OF SARTENE

The wines of Sant Armettu have a strong identity and high quality. Indeed, the endemic grape varieties of the island are very well highlighted and in particular the Sciaccarellu, which has a certain sweetness. The red Rosumarinu is a greedy and elegant wine, to be drunk in its youth while the red Sant Armettu Myrtus is seductive and powerful, with a velvety texture. The Mino range is a nice value for money to discover, it is a generous and frank wine in mouth. Domaine Sant Armettu never ceases to seduce us with the depth and intensity of its wines!
