Winemaking notes: “Located in the town of Aghione, on the Costa Serena, the Vetriccie estate bought by the Barcelo family in 1966 expresses all the attributes of a premium Corsican wine. It spreads over 120 hectares in the heart of the appellation AOP Vin de Corse. The well-orientated soils are located between sea and mountain. The harmonious blend of continental and native varietals on this recognized terroir give elegant and flavored wines with strong potential. Vetriccie, the Corsican wicker that grows near the vineyards is the symbol of their unspoiled nature. 40% Niellucciu, 30% Sciaccarellu, 15% Grenache, 15% Merlot.”
