The 2023 Clos Venturi Brama Sciaccarellu Rouge is a distinctive and elegant Corsican red made from 100% Sciaccarellu, one of the island’s most prized indigenous grape varieties. Produced biodynamically by Clos Venturi from high-altitude vineyards surrounded by mountains and forests, this wine captures the freshness and individuality of Corsican terroir. The nose is fragrant and expressive, revealing aromas of black cherry, red berries and white pepper, alongside subtle floral and herbal notes.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied, silky and beautifully balanced, with juicy cherry and cranberry flavours supported by vibrant acidity and fine tannins. Delicate spice, wild herbs and mineral nuances add complexity, while the finish is fresh, savoury and persistent. Elegant rather than powerful, it offers a unique expression of Sciaccarellu with remarkable purity and drinkability.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for customers who enjoy perfumed, lighter-bodied reds with freshness and character. Often compared stylistically to Pinot Noir or Nerello Mascalese, it delivers a uniquely Corsican personality. Enjoy now or cellar for 5–8 years. Perfect with charcuterie, roast duck, grilled lamb, Mediterranean dishes, mushroom-based cuisine or hard cheeses.
