Nielluccio is a red grape variety primarily grown in the Corsica region of France. It is known for producing wines that are aromatic and flavorful, often characterized by notes of cherry, plum, and herbs. The grape thrives in the Mediterranean climate, benefiting from warm days and cool nights, which helps to develop its rich flavors. Wines made from Nielluccio are typically medium-bodied with balanced acidity and tannins. They are often used in blends but can also be found as single-varietal wines. This grape is closely related to Sangiovese, the prominent grape of Tuscany, Italy, sharing similar characteristics and flavor profiles.
