Patrimonio is Corsica's most prestigious red appellation, and Domaine Giacometti farms a remote slice of it on the granitic edge of the Agriates desert, where warm western winds and deep sandy soils push the indigenous Niellucciu (the island's name for Sangiovese) into something juicier, spicier, and less austere than its limestone-grown cousins. The 2022 Cru des Agriate Rouge is built around that Niellucciu, rounded with a touch of Grenache and Sciaccarellu and raised eighteen months in steel to keep the fruit front and center. It's a wild, brambly, deeply Mediterranean red: red cherry, fig, clove, maquis herbs, and a savory, animal undercurrent that screams Corsican coast. Drink it with grilled meat and rosemary smoke.

More about Giacometti

Corsica has a reputation for being off the beaten path. For being wild. For being different. Corsica stands out in the world of wine.

And Domaine Giacometti stands out in the world of Corsica. This becomes obvious just trying to get to the estate. You leave the other domaines behind, leave the highway, and take your 4X4 across rugged country to get there.

The terroir is also exceptional: a unique combination of granite and desert with a local wind that blows through the valley so hot and dry it's got its own name in the local dialect: Libecciu.

Nothing else grows around there. Just vines, with roots that dig deep, deep, deep for sustenance.

Aside from a tiny amount of Grenache, Giacometti grows only two grape varieties, both of which—and we couldn't have said said this even two or three years ago—you probably know. There's a straight Sciaccarellu, which makes an extremely drinkable Vin de France from vines grown in the sandy/granite soils.

And there is an almost straight (97%) Niellucciu, which makes a wine that qualifies as Patrimonio, even though the domaine is far from other producers in the AOC. It, too, is a wine made for drinking and simple pleasure. They are both fresh and delicious expressions of pure Corsican varieties grown in a terroirs so unique that they stand out even in the rugged slopes of Corsica.

Deep ruby. Red cherry, fresh fig, clove, dried maquis herbs, cracked pepper, and a savory note of leather. Medium-bodied with firm but harmonious tannins, lifted acidity, and a long, herbal, sun-warmed finish.
