Clos Venturi Carcaghjolu Neru

Clos Venturi Carcaghjolu Neru 2023 opens with striking, high‑toned aromas of wild strawberry, redcurrant, and pomegranate, layered with maquis herbs, pink peppercorn, and a cool, ferrous‑mineral edge that reflects the granite and schist soils of Haute‑Corse. The palate is vibrant, tensile, and beautifully sculpted, offering pure red‑berry fruit supported by bright acidity and ultra‑fine, lightly chalky tannins that give the wine both lift and quiet authority. Notes of blood orange, dried herbs, and crushed rock add nuance without interrupting the wine’s sleek, savory, and distinctly Corsican core. The finish is long, energetic, and subtly saline, showcasing a rare indigenous variety rendered with Clos Venturi’s hallmark precision, freshness, and sense of place.
