Antica Sciacarello

Perfect weeknight wine.

Beaujolais of the Mediterranean. So much bright and pure red fruit. So balanced and pleasurable to drink without demanding that you wrap your head around it.

Corsica. Man that’s good. A year in the cellar paid dividends.

Lovely mid weight mineral. like coastal Italian meets Pinot/Gamay-ish. Long finish. Versatile food wine. Corsica

Pur bonheur beau jus fraîcheur et finesse

Lean and mean. Bright and clean. Our first Corsican.

2014... light. Almost a Beaujolais / young Nebbiolo cross... easy drinking... lovely fruit and soft finish.

So lovely. Cannot not love this Corsican. I’m told this is grape is related to Sangiovese. To me, this grape is like marriage between a Sangiovese and Merlot. Sounds like a Chianti but it isn’t. It’s more like a Barbaresco or a heavier Burgundy.
