Costa Nera 1972 – La SICA de Porto-Vecchio

Hailing from the sun-drenched and untamed terroir of Porto-Vecchio, this Costa Nera 1972, produced by La SICA de Porto-Vecchio, stands as a rare witness to the viticultural history of Corsica in the 1970s. A genuine relic of its time, this wine reflects the authenticity of local Corsican grape varieties, crafted during an era when the island’s winegrowers were beginning to shift toward quality and heritage-driven production.

Born between the maquis-covered hills and the Mediterranean breeze, the 1972 vintage now displays a brick-red hue with amber glints, characteristic of well-aged wines. The nose reveals notes of dried fruits, aged leather, wild herbs, and a subtle saline touch. On the palate, the wine is mellow and delicate, softened by time yet still expressive, with lingering flavors of dried fig, soft spices, and forest floor.

This Costa Nera is more than just a wine—it’s a slice of Corsican history, a tribute to traditional craftsmanship upheld by devoted vintners. A captivating discovery for collectors and enthusiasts of old vintages eager to explore the island’s rich winemaking roots.
