Domaine Comte Peraldi Cuvée Cardinal
Domaine Comte Peraldi Cuvée Cardinal
Wine has been cultivated on the Domaine Comte Peraldi estate since the 16th century, but it was not until 1965 that Tyrel de Poix established a proper vineyard with the aim of producing high-quality wines from local grape varieties. Today, Guy de Poix's children manage this magnificent estate, nestled in the hills of Mezzavia and overlooking the Bay of Ajaccio. They continue to uphold an ethical approach and work with respect for this historical origin. The prestigious Cuvée Cardinal was named in memory of Monsignor Mario Felice Peraldi, an ancestor of the Poix family, governor of Civita Vecchia, and landowner in the 17th century.

Character
A ruby-red wine that already shows signs of maturity with a hint of brick-red reflections. The intense and refined nose is complex. It presents fruity aromas (ripe red fruits, berries, dried myrtle), spicy and subtly woody notes (pepper, cinnamon, vanilla). On the palate, the wine is voluminous; the tannins are still young but have begun to soften at their sharpest edges. The 2017 vintage is characterized by its remarkable balance, with a fine structure and minerality. This wine combines delicacy, finesse, and elegance.
Food pairing
Provençal grilled veal fillet with ratatouille.
Vinification
Hand-picked and carefully selected grapes grown in granite-rich soil using organic practices. The wine ferments in concrete vats and undergoes 15 days of maceration.
