“A rare ‘vin de garde’ from Corsica. This well-coloured red comes from the south of the island. Lovely dense fruit flavours with a slightly smoky, sweet-tobacco complexity.” Tom Stevenson – The New Sotherby’s Wine Encyclopedia
The Imberts’ flagship wine is this ‘Cuvée Oriu’ (named after a cache of treasure or guns) comes from a blend of 80% Nielluccio and 20% Sciacarello and is a dense, dark Vin de Garde, that comes into its own with about 5 years bottle-age and deserves to be decanted before serving.
