2015 Clos Alivu is a pleasing rose. Here, subtlety is the key. Light peach, nectarine, guava, and stony minerals all meld together with a hint of bittersweet blood orange in the finish.

2015 E. POLI CLOS ALIVU PATRIMONIO CORSICA ROSE- made from old vines Nieliuccio [Sangiovese]; this arrived after we had already started with the first 2 wines and would have been a good wine to start with; the color was a pale pink which is typical of this varietal grown here and the wine was equally pale with light, mild flavors; perhaps it would be more properly named rose light; it had mild, almost undetectable freshly picked rose petals aromas along with hints of fresh strawberry; on a hot summer day and a good chill on the bottle, it would be a good refreshing treat.

That is a pure outstanding rosé. Crisp, clean and refreshing. Not overly floral, very pure and balanced. Very impressed. Still have 9 more bottles! Drink this year.
