Reserve Corsica Merlot Nielluccio 2015

Vintage 2015 / Exploring wine from Corsica. From local curiosity grape #nielluccio and #merlot. The colour is lightish and half transparant. Frivolous and fruity smell from red cherries. This is a slim and lively wine, a ‘Twiggy’ that wraps your heart with liveliness. It’s not complex. But hey... who cares with hot weather. Partnered it with saucages from the bbq. Engaging wine. #corse — 6 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. — 6 years ago

Unu Ajaccio Sciacarello 2014

“Unu” = “sucker”, in the Corsican dialect. Brett, VA and a dilute, cheap-tasting, one-dimensional Sangiovese fruit. $24. There are cooked $6 Chianti at Trader Joe’s that are better. #corse #ajaccio — 7 years ago
