An experience.

This red French wine comes from the extremely fascinating wine island of Corsica. Or the Île de Beauté , the island of beauty . Not only is this a beautiful island indeed, the wines are also of great beauty. Both red, rosé and white.
Jean-Baptiste Arena makes this red wine called Grotte di Sole from their oldest vines Niellucciu (average 60 years), the blue grape of Patrimonio, located in the far north of Corsica. Niellucciu is related to Sangiovese.

In short, this is an impressively beautiful red wine. From a small vineyard in the only zone on Corsica with a rocky soil of only limestone: AOC Patrimonio . This wine also matures on cement, not on wood, and often for a long time (at least 2 years). Biodynamic wine, unfined and unfiltered with little to no sulfite .
