Domaine U Stiliccionu is a small family estate in Serra-di-Ferro, in the Taravo Valley south of Ajaccio, run by Sébastien Poly-Casabianca since 2006. The domaine covers around seven hectares, planted primarily with Corsican varieties including Sciaccarellu, Niellucciu and Vermentinu on granite-based soils. Farming is certified biodynamic, with a strong focus on biodiversity and traditional vineyard work. In the cellar, Sébastien works with indigenous yeasts, minimal intervention and little to no sulphur, avoiding filtration and other corrective techniques. The wines combine the Mediterranean character of southern Corsica with freshness, fine tannins and a distinctive granitic minerality.

A refined Corsican red from Sébastien Poly-Casabianca’s biodynamically farmed vineyards in the Taravo Valley, predominantly based on the local Sciaccarellu variety. The vines grow on granitic slopes, giving the wine much of its freshness and mineral character. The grapes are fully destemmed, fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and macerated for around 25 days, before ageing for nine to ten months in stainless steel.

Red berries and blueberry meet Mediterranean herbs, thyme and fine spice. The palate is elegant and savoury, with supple tannins, fresh acidity and a persistent granitic character. Now showing some attractive development from bottle age while retaining plenty of energy and freshness.
