Une cuvée confidentielle à l'originalité aromatique. More info

Tarra d’Orasi is produced in small quantities and is one of the most sought-after wines in Corsica given its aromatic uniqueness. Sweet spices (cinnamon, ginger), honey and floral notes make for a very light bouquet. The palate is just as surprising. The tannins are well-integrated, carried by a nice acidity; the finish is marked by notes of spices and liquorice. Serve this wine at around 17°C and pair it with a dish like tagine, lamb or veal.

Vin de France Tara d'Orasi Clos Canarelli serve at a temperature of 17°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Tajine, Carré d'agneau, Coeur de veau.

Information about domain Clos Canarelli

Clos Canarelli is one of Corsica's most emblematic domains thanks to the exceptional quality of its red and white wines but it is also one of the most innovative. Yves Canarelli has turned this family property into one of Corsica's most dynamic domains. It consists of 38 hectares spread out over the Figari appellation, one of France's sunniest winemaking regions. The wind and the proximity to the mountains, however, allow the vines to produce chiselled and balanced wines. Yves takes a great interest in Ampelography, the study of grapevines, and the vines been cultivated biodynamically for several years. Yves has also managed to reintroduce some forgotten native grape varieties such as Bianco Gentile, Carcaghjolu and Minustellu, but the domain's achievements don't stop there. Since 2009, Canarelli has produced a red wine from some vines in the village of Orazi that date back to before the phylloxera crisis: the Cuvée Terra d'Orazi is vinified in clay amphorae. Finally, in 2016, the domain was responsible for resurrecting the first Clos de Bonifacio, a limestone rich parcel located above Corsica's most southern town.
