Domaine Santamaria Tranoï Rouge is a Corsican gem embodying tradition and terroir. Produced by a family dedicated to their craft, the name Tranoï, meaning "between us" in Corsican, reflects their commitment to quality. This wine is a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Niellucciu, sourced from vineyards meticulously tended with traditional methods, including labor-intensive practices like plowing, hoeing, and dis-budding.

The result is a wine that seamlessly marries tradition with modernity, showcasing vibrant fruit flavors, elegant structure, and a sense of place that speaks volumes of Corsica's winemaking heritage.
