Bright red-ruby in colour, `Le Bois du Cerf` Rouge has an aromatic nose, with pure notes of red and black cherries, herbs and dried rose. Dense but juicy, the palate is further enhanced by the flavours of spice and rosemary. This harmonious wine finishes with substantial dusty tannins and beautiful persistence.

Domaine Vico was established in 1901 by Jean Vico, who planted 49 hectares of vines in the northeast of Corisca. Unfortunately, the domaine fell into disrepair until two friends, Jean-Marc Venturi and François Acquaviva, recognised the potential of the land, purchasing the estate in 1986. They rebuilt the winery, implemented sustainable practices in the vineyard and focused on indigenous, Corisican varieties like Sciaccarellu (Mammolo, as it is known in Tuscany), Nielluccio (Sangiovese) and Biancu Gentile. Jean-Marc Venturi’s son Emmanuel, known as Manu, joined his father in the late 1990s and currently runs the domaine. Thanks to 37 years of hard work and innovation, Domaine Vico is now widely viewed to be among the top producers in Corsica.

Unlike most Corsican producers, Domaine Vico’s vineyards are situated away from the coast, in the foothills of the mountains. Planted on complex soils of sandstone, schist, and volcanic sediment, at an elevation of 300m, the vineyards are uniquely positioned to benefit from both continental and Mediterranean climatic influences. This combination lends the finished wines great depth and a distinct mineral freshness. The estate's vineyards are organic and biodynamic certified, with Manu particularly focusing on their varied soils. This has led him to identify which plots are suited to particular wine styles and grape varieties, further optimising the potential of these sites.
