Close your eyes and it’s Corsican rosè — 8 years ago
Vintage 2012 - wine from #corse #corsican local grapes #nielluciu and #sciaccarello The wine has very clear evolution, giving a rooftile brown rim. The smell of a stable, positive stinking! Also raspberries liquor, plums, a bit dusty impression in taste with a nice bitter at the end. The smell of the wine from these curious grapes reminded me a bit of Burgundy. — 8 years ago
Cuvée Grande Expression and again am impressive aged Corsican white. Nice medium yellow color with nose of melons and white floral slight oxidative notes and balanced palate. Great with Evan’s fried fish! — 4 years ago
Y’all probably know by now that I’m a fan of rosé. Anytime, anywhere, with any food. It’s one of the most satisfying wines around. But I’m kind of picky when it comes to rosé. It’s gotta have energy. It’s gotta have lift. It’s gotta have ACIDITY. While I might catch some flak for this, I’m just gonna say it. There is no surer bet in the world of pink wine than Corsican rosé. I’ve never met one I didn’t like. Hell, I’ve never met one where I didn’t immediately want a second bottle. So whenever it crosses my path, I grab it. By the glass, by the bottle, by the case. This little beauty (from the Isle of Beauty, no less) was made by Eric Poli, and comes from organically farmed (uncertified) vines on the east side of the island near Eric’s hometown. Made from Sciaccarellu, an indigenous red to the island that makes just stunningly bright rosés. Citrus skin, strawberry, dried flowers and grapefruit are layered over wet stone minerality that is just gorgeous. — 5 years ago
Local wine shop has me on this Corsican kick lately for which I am thankful. This wine is deep and intense with dark complexity and a moody dried fruits and herbs combo. — 8 years ago
U can really taste the soil in this delicious Corsican red!! Rocky, stony palate! Graphite and bramble fruits! — 8 years ago
Behind the garish, graffiti-like label is a Corsican red (a single-varietal bottling to boot!) that lived up to its name, which translates to "always happy!" It had a fresh zing of ripe raspberry, pomegranate, and plum. And I caught a whiff of tobacco leaf on the nose also. 100% Sciacarellu. 1/21/23. — 4 years ago
Classic Corsican - in the best way. Soft aromas. Dark berries, a little bit of cedar, minerals. There’s a little bit of texture too, a little bit of tannin, and all those same aromas flow right on through to the mouth.
Hardly showy, hardly a complaint. — 5 years ago
Corsican Rose. Wild red berry fruit-- strawberry, fresh straw, white raspberry and sea salt and almost ripe melon. Balanced acidity brings on an expressive finish. — 6 years ago
Lean and mean. Bright and clean. Our first Corsican. — 8 years ago
The blending of the niellucciu makes the wine less savage (with all the associated pros and cons of that) than other Corsican pure nielluccius. Worth drinking for those interested in wine. — 9 years ago
