How do you know what a scrub brush tastes like?

Garrigue would've been the better descriptor. Now I can't get that sanitizing dirty bucket scrubber brush out of my mind!

Marine. Raw oysters and lemon. It’s limestone chalky seashells and smoke with girth. Really good. But someone remind me why Corsican wine is so expensive? — 7 years ago

Pumonte Vin de Corse Calvi Vermentino 2012

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

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

Cuvée YL Blanc l'Île de Beauté Vermentino Blend 2017

Lithe and elegant expression of limestone, sea spray and coastal herbs. Has the typical honeyed floral element that I’ve come to expect from Corsican whites. Enjoyed with Alison Roman’s tomato-poached fish. — 7 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

Domaine Giacometti

Sempre Cuntentu Corsica Sciacarello 2020

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

Clos Canarelli

Corse Figari Red Blend 2015

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.

Kalliste Ajaccio Sciacarello/Nielluccio 2013

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
