Note : Guide Hachette 2**(remarkable wine)
"Born of the marriage of love between niellucciu and syrah, this red presents itself in a dark, elegant suit. Its nose of ripe red berries from the maquis heralds a full, long palate with silky tannins". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2010). "One of the flagships of the Skalli family's reds...its value for money should put to shame many of the pretentious vintages from the south of the continent that disgrace the menus of luxury restaurants in the same sector." (Bettane & Desseauve for Le Monde 2).

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Jean-François Renucci took over Clos Poggiale alongside Terra Vecchia, and immediately the wines rediscovered the charm and finesse of the fine vintages of the Skalli era. The terroir suits all three colors, and the desire to showcase the wines on the continent and as far afield as Asia will do Corsican viticulture a world of good.
