Wow, this continues to be one of my favorite Provence rosés, ripe strawberry, cold peach, watermelon rind, damp limestone, white pepper; with +3Y of age we're at peak enjoyment.

Vintage 2015 / No sulphites. No filtering. 3 months on amphora, 4 months on barrique. Mix of authentic grapes #nielluciu #sciaccarello #minustello #carcaghjolu #morescone that makes this #corsicanwine very enjoyable. Rich and refined. Pretty round. Some roses. Frivolous. I like it very much. — 6 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. — 6 years ago

A different expression of Malbec for sure. Light and juicy with just a brush of tannin. Blackberry and dark raspberry. Crunchy acidity. — 7 years ago

Fairly young and complex white. Modest gold color. Not as good as the ‘18, but intriguing. Starts off as Sauv Blanc and then blends in lots of melons. Medium plus thickness. Very nice. — 3 years ago
