A blended cuvée of grape varieties endemic to Corsica: Niellucio and Carcaghjolu Neru, from biodynamically-grown vines planted on clay-granitic soils with southern and north-western exposure. Harvested by hand. Vinification: destemming, a few crushing of the marc cap, daily pumping-over, each plot is vinified separately before gentle pressing in a pneumatic press.
