Three Colors from Corsica
by Chris Santini
2024 Vin de France Rouge “Faustine”
France | Corsica
This is Corsica! The brush of the high hills, the hot, salty wind from the sea, wild strawberries, cooling granite, mystery and charm, all wrapped up in a tasty rouge. Airy and refined, as always chez Abbatucci, this silky treat is ready to bring some Mediterranean spice to your table tonight.
2024 Île de Beauté Blanc “YL”
France | Corsica
Mineral, saline, crisp, focused, mouthwatering...I could go on, but you get the point! Leccia’s YL blanc, as always, is bottled fresh from tank and shipped right off to our shores to drink young and well chilled, either on its own to soak in its ocean vibe or with some pre-dinner nibbles to fully savor its waxy, peach-infused texture. An extension of your summer vacation, in a bottle.
2024 Vin de Corse “Le Rosé de Pauline”
France | Corsica
Sciaccarellu, a grape of subdued color, excels at making light and bright wines, a style the French call craquant (crunchy or crisp), be it an aromatic rouge or, in this case, a soft and pastel rosé. Hints of almonds, a touch of pepper on the finish, fresh and uplifting, perfect for any festive gathering of friends.
