The 2023 Vico Bois de Cerf Rouge is a vibrant and expressive Corsican red crafted from the island’s signature grape varieties, Niellucciu and Sciaccarellu. Produced by Domaine Vico, one of Corsica’s leading organic estates, this wine captures the freshness and character of the island’s mountainous terroir. The nose is lifted and aromatic, revealing notes of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, alongside hints of spice, liquorice, dried herbs and rose petals.
On the palate, it is fresh, juicy and beautifully balanced, with bright red fruit flavours, soft tannins and lively acidity. The texture is silky and approachable, while subtle spice and savoury notes add complexity through to a smooth, elegant finish. Light on its feet yet full of character, it is a wonderfully versatile red that can even be enjoyed slightly chilled.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for customers who enjoy fresh, fruit-driven reds with plenty of energy and drinkability. Its combination of bright fruit, soft texture and Mediterranean charm makes it ideal for casual dining and entertaining. Best enjoyed over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with charcuterie, grilled lamb, roast chicken, Mediterranean dishes, pasta or barbecue fare.
