The 2022 Clos Venturi Les Clos Rouge is a refined and terroir-driven Corsican red that showcases the elegance and complexity of the island’s native grape varieties. Produced biodynamically from high-altitude vineyards, this wine combines Niellucciu and Sciaccarellu to create a beautifully balanced expression of Corsican terroir. The nose is fragrant and expressive, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and plum, complemented by notes of Mediterranean herbs, spice and subtle earthy minerality.
On the palate, it is silky and structured, with vibrant red and dark fruit flavours supported by fine tannins and fresh acidity. The texture is polished and elegant, while savoury herbal and mineral notes add depth and complexity through to a long, persistent finish. Fresh yet concentrated, it captures the unique balance of power and finesse that defines the finest Corsican reds.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for customers looking to explore a premium Mediterranean red with freshness, complexity and a strong sense of place. Drinking beautifully now with decanting, it will continue to evolve over the next 8–10 years. Perfect with roast lamb, duck, grilled meats, wild mushroom dishes or hearty Mediterranean cuisine.
