Ile de Beauté Rosé Blend 2015

Drinking Rosés that cost less than 5€. Such a deal from #corsica. Not much on the nose, but White peach, hints of pineapple, on the palate, with a lingering finish. — 9 years ago

Rouge Frais Impérial Sciacarello 2014

A light yet delightful red from Corsica. Sciaccarellu grapes with an uncanny resemblance to Pinot Noir. Hints of red fruit with a faint peppery finish. Delicious! #corsica — 10 years ago

Terra di Diana Ile de Beauté White Blend 2017

I’m not as enthusiastic about this one as Suckling’s 90 score. It’s a #chardonnay and #vermentino blend from #corsica - Richer lemony body plus faint tropical notes. It held up well over a week in the wine fridge so for the modest price it’s not bad. — 6 years ago

Réserve Bellucenti Corse Red Blend

Vintage 2015 / Exploring the wines from #Corsica. This reserve Bellucenti is named after Saint Lucia with ‘the most beautiful eyes in the world’. Made from local curiosity grape #nielluccio and #syrah. Dark colour. A warm and serious smell, hint of vannila, brushwood, leather and morello cherries. Great p/q. Smooth taste. Not complex. Good acidity. The cuvees name made me think of Monica Belluci (strange how brains work 😁). The wine makes me happy. — 8 years ago

Cuvée Collection Ministre Imperial Red Blend

Kicking the bday off with this beauty. The Imperial is exceptional tonight, power and elegance don't get more intertwined, balanced and pure. With air the body emerges and grows in depth. The fruit intensity also ratchets up a lot, telling me this has the stuffing to age another 10+ easy and reward that patience handsomely. Dashes of wild Corsicana scrub (maquis), ripe and polished tannin and pitch perfect acidity. In time I can see this going to 99-100 easy.

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 Vetriccie

Ile de Beauté Rosé Blend 2014

White mint, Smoky tangerine, nectarine, magnolia blossom, honeysuckle, clear enamel, slate, gypsum and grapefruit pith pleasantly greet the nose. Pear becomes apricot, then tangerine becomes kumquat with ruby grapefruit pith, pink strawberry, white mushroom, lemon and gravel. Complex, cascading, transcendent. I like what is going on here! Budding, pungent red flowers in citric green sheaths. #corsica #frenchwine #rosé #vivalafrance — 11 years ago
