This is unique blend of 50% Nielluccio, 35% Sciacarrello and 15% Grenache. It is very light salmon in color. The nose is clean and muted, with aromas of tart red fruit and white flowers. The palate is dry, consistent with the nose, with with medium (+) acidity, low tannins and medium (-) alcohol at 12%. It is light-bodied, with medium flavor intensity, and a clean, crisp minerality on the medium (-) finish. It is fine by itself and extremely versatile with food. Drink now, not intended for aging.

Delightfully elegant and delicate, this little rose treat from Corsica has quite a unique personality in the rose' world. The nose is mildly stemmy and earthy in front of some mild, reticent red fruit. At first the palate seems bland, taking a second or two for the red fruit flavors to emerge. I get the taste on the tongue that reminds me of biting into the skin of a ripe red skinned apple. Really wel balanced and light on it's feet. A lingering minerality with the fruit and crispness on the finish.

Floral, fruity, and herbaceous. Medium acid, excellent summer sipper. A tasty treat.

Crazy value at $7.99. Straight forward French rose, dry, floral, tart red fruits, good acids and balanced.

Juicy, floral, red berry, and mineral driven bouquet and taste profile. Great acid and balance. Quality wine.
