The wine
Straw-yellow, with fresh pear and lemon zest lifted by white flowers and a hint of depth.
Le Bois du Cerf means the stag wood. The white is Vermentinu, the island signature white, giving a saline, citrus-driven wine. Corsica is closer to Italy than to France and its grape names follow: Vermentinu is Vermentino, Niellucciu is Sangiovese and Sciaccarellu is native to the island. The mountainous interior, rather than the coastal resorts, is where the serious wines are made. Domaine Vico is in the Corsican interior, in the foothills north-east of Ponte Leccia, at altitude and well away from the coast.
