Patrimonio Carco Antoine Marie Arena 2018

Antoine-Marie Arena is the younger son of the famous Antoine Arena, a legendary Patrimonio wine maker in Corsica. After having worked on the family domain since 2004, Antoine-Marie started making his own wines in 2014. He works on 6 hectares including the Carco and Hauts de Carco terroirs, and these are planted with Nielluccio for the reds, and Bianco Gentile, Vermentinu and Muscat for the whites. The result is everything we would expect and more: wines already among the finest in Corsica, offering crisp fruit, elegance and depth.

This Niellucciu cuvée is matured in demi-muids. It gives off aromas of dark fruits and aromatic herbs, as well as superb finesse on the palate. It is fresh in character and has notable but elegant tannins that will soften easily after some ageing time.
