Domaine Vico 'U Fornu' Rouge

Domaine Vico U Fornu Rouge 2021 opens with expressive aromas of black cherry, wild plum, and macerated raspberry, lifted by notes of maquis herbs, cracked pepper, and a subtle ferrous‑mineral edge that reflects the granite and schist soils of central Corsica. The palate is vibrant, supple, and quietly structured, offering juicy 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 herbs, 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 and sense of place.
