Founded by the Courrèges family in the early 1960s, the domaine is now run by third-generation Gérard Courrèges, alongside his sister Nathalie. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThe vineyards sit on rugged granitic soils, planted predominantly with native Corsican varieties including Sciaccarellu and Vermentinu. Farming has been organic since 2008, with low yields and a strong focus on individual parcels. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eA Burgundy lover, Gérard brings a distinctly terroir-focused, parcel-by-parcel approach to Corsica, using foudres, barrels and other neutral vessels to allow each site to speak clearly. The wines are beautifully refined, combining Mediterranean character with freshness, minerality and remarkable finesse — firmly placing Vaccelli among the island’s most compelling producers. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA beautifully perfumed expression of Sciaccarellu from Vaccelli’s organically farmed granitic vineyards in the Taravo Valley.

The palate is supple and almost weightless, with fine, powdery tannins and a distinctive granitic tension carrying the wine towards a long, gently saline finish. Elegant, savoury and unmistakably Corsican — a brilliant introduction to Vaccelli’s reds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProducer  \u003cstrong\u003eDomaine de Vaccelli \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin \u003cstrong\u003ePatrimonio, Corsica, France\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes \u003cstrong\u003eSciaccarellu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage \u003cstrong\u003e2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol \u003cstrong\u003e15% ABV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle \u003cstrong\u003eElegant, complex and textured red\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottle size\u003cstrong\u003e 75cl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking \u003cstrong\u003eOrganic farming, hand harvested, gentle pressing, native ferment, aged on lees  in oak and stainless steel for 12 months, minimal sulphur, unfined and \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eunfiltered.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes \u003cstrong\u003ecoastal influence, low intervention, natural\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine de Vaccelli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55636340113784,"sku":"VACCELLIR-23-VCL-RED","price":57.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/6070\/8993\/files\/Vaccelli_rouge_68be1b13-8cb8-4813-9b89-d24e17627891.png?v=1787241439","url":"https:\/\/sipwines.shop\/products\/vaccelli-ajaccio-rouge-aop-domaine-de-vaccelli-2023","provider":"SipWines Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
