Domaine Vico was founded in 1901 in the village of Ponte-Leccia, in the northern sector of the Mediterranean island of Corsica. Surrounded by imposing mountains, it is an historic estate with vineyards in the center of the island (Centru di Corsica), in the foothills of those dramatic peaks. It is here that owner and winemaker Manu Venturi has taken his mix of native Corse varieties, grown at an altitude of 300+ meters, and turned this unique domaine into one of France’s shining beacons for biodynamic farming and transparently pure Corsican wines. The Emera bottling is a reference to the native Emera plant, which surrounds the vineyards. Sciaccarrelu is a grape variety most commonly found on Corsica and is the principal red grape found on the island that makes absolutely delicious wines with beautiful floral aromas. This is light on the palate with fine tannins, bursting with red berry fruit.
