Shipping informations

This Giacometti cuvée, Sempre Azezzu, is a 100% Syrah, hand-picked from the clay-granitic soils of the Agriates desert. The wine is vinified naturally, without the use of inputs, with crushing, destemming and a 15-day maceration, followed by mature, controlled ageing. After ageing for 12 months in demi-muid and a further 9 months in stainless steel vats, the wine is unfiltered, unfined, and given a moderate touch of SO₂. This artisanal method perfectly reveals the wild, authentic character of the terroir, while bringing control and finesse to this characterful wine.

The sommelier info

Sempre Azezzu charms with its deep purple colour, heralding a powerful, expressive wine. On the nose, it reveals a magnificent bouquet of intense red fruit (cherry, plum) with hints of smoke and maquis, typical of the Corsican terroir. On the palate, this is a full-bodied, structured wine: the tannins are robust yet elegant, with notes of Provençal herbs, tobacco and prunes, before a slightly mineral, vanilla finish that lingers with finesse. A very fine wine made by the Giacometti family, expressing the quintessence of the Corsican terroir!

This wine is served with

Sempre Azezzu is the perfect accompaniment to grilled red meat, wild boar stew, game or a T-bone with barbecue sauce. Serve between 15 and 17°C, ideally after decanting to fully release its aromas.

The domain

Domaine Giacometti is located in the heart of the Agriate desert in Casta, near Bastia. This emblematic place of the Corsican culture must be protected and respected in order to promote the rich terroir of Giacometti.

DOMAINE GIACOMETTI : A FAMILY AFFAIR

Created in 1965, it was taken over in 1987 by Laurent Giacometti and his son Christian Giacometti. Christian and his wife Corinne have taken over the entire Domaine Giacometti since 1997. Joined by their daughter Sarah in 2006 and their son Simon two years later, this third generation reinforces the family’s desire to cultivate the plots of land of Domaine Giacometti with talent and respect. Simon Giacometti represents the dynamic rising generation of the appellation Vin de Corse Patrimonio and is convinced, just like Christian Giacometti, that an expressive wine must be aromatic and reveal its terroir and its origins.

GIACOMETTI : THE VALORIZATION OF THE PATRIMONIO TERROIR

Domaine Giacometti is a unique terroir in Patrimonio wines because the soils are clay-granitic (Patrimonio is normally on clay-limestone) and the area is very arid. When Laurent bought Domaine Giacometti, he was warned: "This is the village where it rains elsewhere". The 32-hectare Domaine Giacometti is planted mainly with Niellucciu, Sciacarellu, Vermentinu and a little Grenache and Syrah. The soil is worked mechanically and no chemical weeding: the conversion to Organic Agriculture and obtaining the AB label vintage 2017 were obvious.

GIACOMETTI CORSICAN WINE : EXCEPTIONAL WINES

Domaine Giacometti produces several vintages in AOP Patrimonio and Vin de France: Cuvée Sarah in red and white, Cuvée Cru des Agriates in red, rosé and white, the cuvée Sempre Contentu red (100% Sciacarellu), the cuvée Sempre Arezzu red and the cuvée Sciacarellu rosé. The red wines of the Giacometti estate are all the more appreciable as they have a very good ageing potential whereas the Giacometti white and rosé Corsican wines are rather fresh and fruity.
