Clos Canarelli "Costa Nera" red 2020

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2024 (Sept. 2023): 94/100. "Alta Rocca offers the palate an elegant purée complemented by subtle aging, a remarkable bottle in every way."

ATTENTION : the indigenous grape carcaghjolu neru is obviously not taken into account in the "manuals" of the Protected Designation of Origin Figari. This cuvée is therefore a "simple" Vin de France. For this reason, and don’t ask me why, it is prohibited to explicitly display the name of the grape (hence the "code" CN) or the vintage on the label. You will find a "20" in very small print, included in the lot number (starting with L), written somewhere on the bottle or label.

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

The vines: grape variety carcaghjolu neru. Green harvesting followed by manual picking with sorting table, yields 25 Hl/Ha.

The terroir: Argilo-granitic, exposed to the south and northwest. Warm and windy climate, large temperature amplitude day/night.

In biodynamics since 2006, BIO certification since 2002 (ECOCERT)

Vinification: 100% destemmed harvest. Fermentation with an indigenous yeast strain, in stainless steel tanks.

Aging: 18 months in 500-liter barrels (demi-muids). No fining or filtration.

Serving advice: Decant for serving, serve at 16-17°
