Domaine Maestracci makes some of the best value wines in Corsica, a region where increased exposure and tariffs has driven up prices tremendously in recent years. They are located in Calvi, with vines planted in on the foothills of a mountain range that rises 1500 meters above the Mediterranean. The estate is Demeter-certified biodynamic and makes vibrant earthy wines. Clos Reginu is made from their youngest vines, an assemblage of Grenache, Niellucio with smaller percentages of Sciaccarellu, Syrah and Mourvedre. The 2021 shows some of the dried garrigue notes of the island's own varieties, but is overall effortlessly fresh and elegant from this cooler, brighter vintage. It drinks almost like a Pinot, while delivering savory flavors and a Mediterranean profile. Highly recommended!
