Overview of the Wine
The Giacometti family boldly moved to the large, rugged, empty, and arid Agriates Desert in 1987, taking over vines that had been planted in 1966. The appellation authorities granted Patrimonio appellation status to these vines, even though the estate is several miles from the village of Patrimonio and other vineyards. Given the isolation of the domaine, word of the wines and the estate haven’t travelled far, though an important and loyal Corsican clientele has permitted the domaine to thrive. The Giacomettis have long made a generous, approachable style of Patrimonio, similar to what has traditionally been served by the pitcher at the Corsican dinner table. The terroir here provides conditions that allow the Niellucciu vines to forage deep into the granite rock for nutrients and to ripen without excess.
To find the estate one needs to venture far from the one paved road of the region, and a good 4×4 vehicle is essential. The founder, Christian Giacometti, has gradually been handing over the reins to his daughter Sarah and son Simon after 25 years of constant and heroic labor to make wine in an inhospitable land. The kids are all right, as they say, continuing on with their unique and eminently drinkable style of Patrimonio, all the while experimenting with Sciaccarellu plantings (extremely rare for Patrimonio) and offering a glimpse of great things to come.

Winemaker’s Tasting Notes
Deep ruby with a hint of purple. Rich and aromatics marked by a solar vintage, noble green fragrances (Myrtle) and ripe red flesh fruit (blackberry, strawberry, blueberry). Generous and powerful start, it has full and structured tannins bearing a rich and tasty note. On the palate candied red fruits and black berries with pleasant sappy and salty notes. A persistent finish combining freshness with a rich and tasty texture.
