At what temperature should a Corsican red wine be served to fully appreciate all its aromas?
Corsican red wines are best served between 16 and 18 °C to fully express their aromatic complexity. Below this range, the tannins of Nielluccio can appear more austere and the aromas of black fruits and spices less expressive. A brief decanting of 30 to 45 minutes is often recommended for young, structured cuvées from Patrimonio, in order to soften the texture and allow the bouquet to open up. Reds based on Sciaccarello, naturally more delicate and less tannic, can be served slightly cooler, around 15–16 °C.
