On the granite-clad heights overlooking the Gulf of Valinco, Domaine Sant Armettu has for generations been crafting a wine in its own image, rooted in an island unlike any other. Myrtus Rouge 2024 is its truest expression. Its deep, intense colour heralds a wine of character. The nose soon confirms this, with ripe red fruits and crushed strawberries against a backdrop of supple leather, followed by a hint of spice that evokes the garrigue in summer. On the palate, Myrtus unfolds with rare harmony. The texture is silky, the tannins precisely integrated, and the body full-bodied without ever feeling heavy. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a spicy, mineral impression that betrays the granite-rich terroir. This wine improves with age. A few years in the cellar refine its contours, deepen its spicy notes and reveal a complexity that its youth still holds in reserve. At the table, it pairs beautifully with roast lamb seasoned with herbs from the maquis, confit meats or the island’s mature cheeses.
