Work in the vineyard

• Terroir : the ground is a decomposition of arenas
  granite which takes the form of silt and sand,
  plot selection.
• Climate and exposure: our vines are planted in
  hillsides, facing South-East, at a hectare density of 4700
  feet. The Cagna mountain peaks at 1400m and
  surrounding the vineyard allows a strong thermal amplitude
  between day and night. AOP Corsica Sartene.
• VSperiods and crops: our work is entirely
  organic (Ecocert certified). On 2 ha of Sciacarellu,
  Niellucciu, and Minustellu, we practice a size in
  cordon de royat, manual green work, plowing
  light and phytosanitary treatments based on clay.

Cellar work

• Harvest: they are manual and carried out in the morning
  in small crates. The yield per hectare is 35
  hectoliters.
• Winemaking and aging: after light scratching, the
  bays are vatted in thermoregulated stainless steel and
  windings and load shedding (2 per day) punctuate the
  natural alcoholic fermentation without adding yeast. After
  vatting for 5 weeks, the wines are aged in casks
  of oak and half muids for 18 months. 30% Minustellu,
  30% Sciacarellu, 30% Niellucciu.

The Perpetual Reserve

On the same principle as a Solera; each year, our Perpetual Reserve will be enriched with an additional vintage. The one we are offering you this year comes from the 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 vintages. We have planted on selected plots grape varieties adapted to each soil and from our Sartenese 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
Our Perpetual Reserve is a wine of yesteryear, a wine of memory where each vintage tells its story.
