Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 90/100
Domaine rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the wine:
Subtle, delicate citron aromas, crystalline ensemble, carefully vinified.
About the domain :
In addition to a lovely hotel, this enterprising cousin of another Peretti della Rocca (an old local aristocratic family) has revived his vineyard heritage and, with the good advice of his cousin Canarelli, is precisely vinifying his flagship cuvée called Jules.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2024) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Corsican viticulture has two Jean-Baptiste de Peretti estates, both first cousins, based in Figari, at the southern tip of Corsica, a few kilometers apart. This estate is the most recent. Created in 2017, with 40 ha of land including nearly 15 ha of vines, it has a dual vocation, winegrowing and tourism, with guest rooms.
