Domaine Vico 'Cantinone' Rouge

Domaine Vico Cantinone Rouge 2022 opens with vivid aromas of black cherry, wild strawberry, and red plum, lifted by notes of maquis herbs, cracked pepper, and a subtle smoky‑mineral edge that reflects the granite and schist soils of central Corsica. The palate is vibrant, supple, and quietly structured, offering juicy red‑ and dark‑berry fruit supported by fresh acidity and fine, lightly rustic tannins that give the wine both lift and Mediterranean depth. Hints of licorice, dried thyme, and warm spice add nuance without overwhelming the wine’s sleek, savory core. The finish is long, earthy, and confidently shaped, showcasing a characterful Corsican red crafted with Vico’s hallmark freshness, precision, and sense of place.
