  1. Domaine Alzipratu Cuvee Fiumeseccu Blanc 2021
    Domaine Alzipratu Cuvee Fiumeseccu Blanc 2021
    100% Vermentino from Corsica. The grapes are grown in 2 different parcels across 3 hectares of land and the vines are aged between 8 and 12 years.
    Winemaking: The grapes are pressed and settled at cold temperatures. Fermentation lasts for between 15 and 25 days in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged on its lees and racked twice before being bottled in the Alzipratu cellars between 5 to 8 months following the harvest.
    The Fiumeseccu Blanc is pale straw in colour. The bouquet is characterised by floral notes, apple and almond. The palate is one of vibrancy and crisp acidity on a quite saline, minerally base. Totally moreish! DOMAINE ALZIPRATU

  2. Domaine Fazi Ile de Beaute Rose 2021
    Domaine Fazi Ile de Beaute Rose 2021

    Pale and fresh. Watermelon rind, pink grapefruit, redcurrant, a pretty herb and floral top note. Cool flavour profile, though flavour it does have, powdery texture, clean acidity, and a zesty finish of good length. Refreshing. Lovely to guzzle. GARY WALSH, The Wine Front

    42% Nielluccio, 33% Syrah, 20% Grenache, 5% Sciaccarellu. Screwcap.

    A sound introduction to Corsican rosé, this showcases the island’s more rocky and chiselled take on the style (relative to Provence).  Tight, tense, saline, with pink grapefruit and watermelon and citrus rind, it’s underpinned with granitic minerals and bone dry.  The international varieties in the blend give a little more generosity around its fine, lean feel – only 11.5% alcohol.  Sophisticated IGP wine.
