Nielluccio – Sciaccarello is an important blended wine made on the French island of Corsica. Both varieties are widely planted, and reflect the island's Italian heritage: Nielluccio is perhaps best known by its Tuscan name Sangiovese, and Sciaccarello is also planted there under the name Mammolo. Together, the two make a savory, herbal wine with a touch of rusticity. Nielluccio is the more important of the two, bringing power and noticeable tannins, color and acidity. Savory flavors of tomato leaf are present, along with a hint of dark cherries and dried herbs. Sciaccarello adds finesse and fleshiness as well as its characteristic violet aromas and red fruit flavors, seasoned with black pepper.

Deep ruby with a hint of purple. Rich and aromatics marked by a solar vintage, noble green fragrances (Myrtle) and ripe red flesh fruit (blackberry, strawberry, blueberry). Generous and powerful start, it has full and structured tannins bearing a rich and tasty note. On the palate candied red fruits and black berries with pleasant sappy and salty notes. A persistent finish combining freshness with a rich and tasty texture.
