Domaine Fazi Ile de Beaute Rose 2024
DOZEN: $324.00 or $27.00 each
Importer Felix Riley and I often have little guitar nerd chats on Instagram. We both love a good rosato too. Felix has better taste in rosé than he does guitars. JUST SAYING. He likes metal, I do not, aside from a little Iron Maiden and a few other bits and pieces.
A musky perfume, strawberry, pink grapefruit, watermelon granita, a light smoky top note. It’s juicy, all the bright red fruits and watermelon freshness, some chalkiness, a little tang and grapefruit bite, with a succulent finish of excellent length. Very nice. Vibrant. A nice drink that’s very easy to guzzle, though there’s some complexity here too. GARY WALSH, The Wine Front
The Fazi vineyard is situated on the sandy east coast of Corsica and is planted to the indigenous varieties of Sciaccarellu and Nielluccio as well as Merlot, Syrah, Grenache and Cinsault. Established by Vincent Fazi in the 1970s, this vineyard produces only rosé wines.
Corsica's strikingly beautiful mountainous terrain makes farming challenging; added to the logistics of getting wine off the island for mainland port pickups, it's not a region renowned for value-end wines. Fazi vinifies wine on site but works with a Provence based bottler, a key part of keeping value sharp and compelling.
