"A trio of Sciaccarellu, Niellucciu and Minustellu in the majority, which translates in the glass with an un-extracted, mid-red, garnet-vermilion hue. The nose is ripe and precise, with floral scents of roses and peonies, fresh savory and a fine woody touch. A delicate texture on the palate, with the generosity of the vintage and its refined tannins, a ready-to-drink, digestible whole, a pleasure to be prolonged over five years". (Le Guide RVF 2025)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
The vineyard lies at the heart of the magnificent Ortolo valley, and produces precise, cleanly vinified wines that lack the individuality of the best. We especially recommend the rosé, which perfectly meets expectations.

Wine rated (guide 2025) 93/100
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
Majority trio of Sciaccarellu, Niellucciu and Minustellu, reflected in the glass with an un-extracted, mid-red, garnet-vermilion hue. The nose is ripe and precise, with floral scents of roses and peonies, fresh savory and a fine woody touch. A delicate texture on the palate, with the generosity of the vintage and its refined tannins, a ready-to-drink, digestible whole, a pleasure to be prolonged over five years.
About the domain :
Created in 2000, this estate, set in the enchanting Ortolo valley, has been entirely planted with 16 hectares of vines surrounded by maquis, a privileged place where mountains meet hills. The first certified organic vintage was 2005. Élisabeth Quilichini's hard work is bearing fruit, producing a rosé, a white and two red wines of excellent quality, aged in foudre and capable of ageing well. The estate has happily evolved towards reds with a perfumed, infused character, and last year earned a well-deserved first star.
