Clos Canarelli Rouge

Made from 100% Niellucciu, the ancient Corsican varietal with roots as tangled as the island’s history, it pours a deep, wild red that feels like it was pulled straight from the soil.

On the nose, blackcurrant and blackberry hit first, but then the maquis shows up—those herbal, untamed aromas of Corsica’s rugged scrubland, as if the island itself had been distilled into a bottle. The palate follows through with layers: fresh strawberry, citrus zest, and wild herbs, wrapped in silky tannins and a granite-born minerality. The finish is long and unapologetic, lingering just enough to remind you where it came from.

Pair it with food that’s as bold as the wine—wild boar, braised lamb, or anything smoky and slow-cooked. Serve it cool, give it air, and don’t try to soften it. This is wine with conviction, a statement poured into a glass, challenging you to keep up.
