Terra Santa Description
The town of Aléria (Alalia) was founded in the 5th century BC on the Eastern coast of Corsica. It is at a time when the Phoceans introduced the vine in Corsica. A holy land was born : Terra Santa!
The Terra Santa vineyards are ideally situated between the sea and the mountains, bathed in heat during the day and coolness at night. The local grape varieties are cultivated in homage to the traditional Mediterranean way of life and express the full knowledge of the land.
Daniel Hernandez-Brun for K&D: 91 Points
The 2024 Terra Santa is more saline and lifting than previous vintages. It is a very pale pink in color, and is expressive and fragrant on the nose. Aromas of red berry, cantaloupe, white sage, and a saline undertone reminiscent of sea air lead to a medium-bodied palate that is fresh and lively. That same salinity underpins a palate awash in fresh red fruit, strawberry bubblegum, and mineral notes of granite. The finish is dry, with refreshing acidity and a slightly bitter tinge that I find quite pleasant.
