The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A sought-after address in Patrimonio, Domaine Giudicelli has earned 2 stars in the RVF Guide and produces haute couture wines highly coveted by connoisseurs.

Since 1997, Muriel and Stéphane Giudicelli have been cultivating this small 11-hectare vineyard biodynamically. Nestled in the terroirs of Poggio d'Oletta near Saint-Florent, they create precise wines, as natural as possible, aged in large barrels or demi-muids from the renowned Austrian cooper, Stockinger.

These vintages express themselves with finesse and elegance, always showcasing a unique personality and an exceptional ability to age gracefully.
Wine Made from pure Niellucciu grapes and vinified with whole clusters, the 2020 Red Patrimonio gracefully expresses the freshness, elegance, and purity of the varietal. Sourced from clay-limestone and granite soils, and aged extensively in large barrels and stainless steel, this red wine is richly colored with a complex aromatic profile featuring hints of violet, raspberry, and spices reminiscent of Tuscany. Its velvety texture and very elegant tannins are displayed in perfect balance, with a pure and digestible structure that will delight lovers of great Corsican wines. Rated 94/100 by the Selection Committee and RVF.
Vinification Harvested by hand. Clay-limestone and granite terroir. Vinification by whole-grain infusion, indigenous yeasts. Aged 30 to 36 months on lees in foudre and stainless steel vats. No filtration or fining.
