Domaine Sant Armettu Burghese red 2020

RVF Guide of Best Wines of France 2026 (Sept. 2025): 94/100. Of the 4 reds, we particularly appreciated Burghese 2020, for its fragrances and its velvety texture, its long aging contributes to this very positive evolution. Three grape varieties in this 2020: mainly Sciaccarellu, complemented by Syrah and Minustrellu, ruby of good intensity, little evolved. Fine smoky notes intermingle with a fresh and young black fruit, the oak remains discreet, the whole is well assembled. The palate is fleshy, velvety, with very smooth tannins that are normally attributed to a patient aging of 36 months in demi-muids; this 2020 has the perfect evolution of a great Mediterranean wine. To be enjoyed over 10 years.

Technical Sheet written by the domaine:

With an intense garnet red robe, Burghese offers deep and refined notes of spices and red fruits. Its complex and silky structure presents an exceptional length on the palate as well as a very important aging potential. There are also aromas of camphor and clove that blend subtly with the fruits and spices.

TERROIR: Parcel selection on the granite arenas of the Tizzano hills.

GRAPE VARIETY: 60% Sciaccarellu, 20% Minustellu, 10% Nielluciu, 5% Elegante, 5% Carcaghjolu neru.

HARVEST: Destemmed, sorted in the vineyard and in the cellar, cold pre-fermentation maceration between 12-16°C, fermentation in vats with daily punch-downs and pump-overs.

AGING: 30 months in demi-muids and 6 months in bottle.

APPEARANCE: Deep garnet robe.

TASTING: Ample and structured, this wine pushes all the limits. It combines the striking purity of an Ermite with the character of the Myrtus. Burghese red will be appreciated alongside refined dishes and curious audiences.

BACK LABEL TEXT: Sciaccarellu, Minustellu, Nielluciu, Elegante, Carcaghjolu neru become "Burghese", the bourgeois of Sartène. Burghese loves distinguished interiors and will enjoy telling the story of its native Corsica, at the heart of a chic dinner.
