◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced red berry character—tart raspberry and blackberry dominate, layered with ripe cherry notes. Beneath the fruit sits a subtle nuttiness from the chestnut flour, grounding the aromatic profile. A whisper of acidity and herbal restraint from minimal hopping keeps the bouquet balanced and inviting.

◐ Taste

Entry is sweetly fruited, with berry flavors blooming across the palate immediately. The mid-palate develops a gentle tartness and a measured bitterness (10 IBU) that prevents cloying sweetness, while dark fruit depth and the underlying chestnut base add textural complexity. Mild acidity threads through, echoing the Corsican spirit tradition and lending freshness to the finish.

The finish is medium in length, trailing berry and subtle dark fruit notes without harshness. A dry, slightly tannic edge emerges as the aftertaste fades, leaving the palate clean and mildly refreshed.
