Domaine Comte Abbatucci

Faustine Vieilles Vignes Vermentino 2018

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

Grotte di Sole Red Blend 2014

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 U Stiliccionu

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

Carco Patrimonio Nielluccio 2012

Very nice, though not sure about the value at $50 retail. Bright red fruit with good acid and a smooth integrated finish; good earth. Definitely an interesting Corsican bottle. — 10 years ago

Corse Rosé 2015

This was the rosé. This charming Corsican wine might have been a touch to light for the excellent trout that Cinnamon made, but in today's steroid wine world, a mistake on the light side is welcome from time to time. Although mostly composed of exotic native grape varieties, this would not be out of place in a flight of Provençal rosé. — 10 years ago

Patrimonio Blanc Vermentino 2016

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

Clos Canereccia

Corse Red Blend

A lot of fruit for a Corsican red (ime), blueberry, tart blackberry and raspberry, completely offset by black olive and herbs from the typical Corsican machis that makes its way into the wines like the herbs in Provence can sometimes do.

Domaine Alzipratu

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
