Castellu Di Baricci - Perpetual Reserve Red - 2022 - 75cl
It is in the heart of the beautiful Ortolo Valley in the town of Sartene that Castellu di Baricci is nestled.
At the foot of the Omu di Cagna mountains, which peak at 1,217 m, the estate has been operated since the beginning of the 19th century by the same family and contributed to the Valley's wine-growing reputation.
A new lease of life in 2000 helped the rebirth of the estate, which today finds its legitimacy through quality production on a property of more than 150 hectares. The estate took the name of Castellu di Baricci, a medieval castle overlooking the valley, headquarters of Renucciu della Rocca. A cradle of noble products, this agricultural entity is based around the cultivation of vines, olive trees and tourist reception to be representative of what Corsica does best.
The Perpetual Reserve
Based on the same principle as a Solera, our Perpetual Reserve will be enriched with an additional vintage each year. The one we are offering this year comes from the 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 vintages. We have planted selected plots of grape varieties adapted to each soil and derived from our Sartenaise ampelographic history: Sciacarellu, Minustellu, and Niellucciu.
It is with the blending of these three grape varieties that the Réserve Perpétuelle was created. Castellu di Baricci-PDO Corsica Sartene-Haute Vallée de l'Ortolo, 20100 SARTENE-www.castelludibaricci.com
