Based on Niellucciu and Syrah raised all in demi-muids, the 2016 Corse Prestige du Président is a beauty that shines for its elegance and balance. Pretty cherries, spice, dried herbs, and earth are the defining aromatics of this attractive red, which is medium-bodied, seamless, and perfectly balanced on the palate. It's already drinking nicely, yet I suspect it will evolve nicely given its overall balance.

Medium pink color with just a hint of salmon, the 2016 Corse Prestige Du Président Sciaccarellu is a juicy, lively, delicious effort that has notes of strawberries and salty minerality in its clean, balanced and refreshing style. Drink it over the coming year.
