Region: Ile de Beauté, France
Varietal: Nielluccio (Sangiovese), Sciaccarello (Mammolo)
Tasting Notes: A thirst-quenchingly cheerful rosé from Corsica. Very similar to a Provencal style of rosé with crisp minerality, white peach, blood orange, fresh red fruit that jumps out of the glass, and a lingering finish redolent of sea spray and warm days. With its affordable price and screw-cap enclosure, this is sure to become a favorite for any occasion where rosé cravings arise.
Pairing: A bright Gazpacho soup, fresh carpaccio plate, or tinned fish are all wonderful snacks to share with this Corsican Rose. Juicy hamburgers off the grill are a simple and oh so satisfying partner as well! This fast and easy ceviche recipe is a perfect choice on a warm summer day. Ceviche à la Minute recipe from Chez Wong.
