The 2021 Domaine Vico Les Parcellaires U Fornu Rouge is a distinctive and terroir-driven Corsican red sourced from a single parcel planted on schist-rich soils near an old lime kiln, from which the wine takes its name. Crafted from Niellucciu and Sciaccarellu and farmed biodynamically, it reflects the rugged beauty and unique character of Corsica. The nose is complex and expressive, offering aromas of black cherry, wild berries and plum, alongside notes of dried herbs, spice and subtle earthy minerality.
On the palate, it is elegant yet structured, with layers of dark fruit supported by fine tannins and vibrant acidity. The texture is silky and refined, while savoury notes of spice, liquorice and crushed stone add depth through to a long, persistent finish. Balancing power with freshness, this is a serious Corsican red with excellent ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for customers seeking something distinctive and terroir-driven. Combining Mediterranean warmth with freshness and finesse, it drinks beautifully now with decanting and will continue to evolve over the next 8–10 years. Perfect with roast lamb, game dishes, slow-cooked meats, grilled vegetables or hearty Mediterranean cuisine.
