Magnum Tarra di Sognu
A new great cuvée in red Corsica on the new limestone terroir on the heights of Bonifacio revealed by all the talent and tenacity of the duo Yves Canarelli and Patrick Fioramonti.With its astonishing aromatic refinement, fullness and formidable tannin, this wine is going to make a name for itself, with the strength of the carcajolo in its blend.
Floral, racy, the red is supported by a taffeta of fresh, rich tannins. We bow to the purity and brightness of the fruit in this captivating wine, the island's new benchmark.
