The 2022 Corsican Rose dazzles in the glass with a delicate blush reminiscent of early morning sunrise over the Mediterranean. A first swirl releases invigorating aromas of ripe strawberries and sun-soaked citrus, interwoven with hints of wild herbs that evoke the rugged landscapes of Corsica.
On the palate, it is refreshingly vibrant, with flavors of juicy watermelon and tart raspberries that dance gracefully, followed by a whisper of saline minerality that nods to its coastal roots. The texture is crisp yet creamy, gliding effortlessly with a bright finish that invites you for more.
This delightful rose is perfect for seafood dishes like grilled octopus or a refreshing summer salad, capturing the essence of island life in every sip.
