Domaine Giudicelli France | Corsica | Patrimonio
Muriel Giudicelli’s Patrimonio rouge is elegant, deep, bursting with ripe black fruits, silky smooth, and offering great length.
Domaine Giudicelli France | Corsica | Patrimonio
It’s beautifully ethereal, with pillowy fruit that tastes so sublime it would be limiting to attempt a description, although quince and verbena jump to mind.
Domaine Maestracci France | Corsica | Calvi
This bottle is benchmark Corsica at a weeknight price.
Domaine Maestracci France | Corsica | Calvi
Fresh, salty, and citrusy all at once—an instant crowd pleaser, and one of Corsica’s top value whites.
Domaine Maestracci France | Corsica | Calvi
The island of Corsica is only a few hours by ferry from mainland France, but when you arrive, you get the sense you’ve set foot in a partly foreign country.
Antoine-Marie Arena France | Corsica | Vin de France
A beautiful example of Biancu Gentile, an heirloom white grape revived from near-extinction by Arena in the 1990s.
Antoine-Marie Arena France | Corsica | Patrimonio
Aromas of black fruit, graphite, wild herbs, and game over firm, stony tannins. Saturated with flavors of the Île de Beauté.
Antoine-Marie Arena France | Corsica | Patrimonio
A thirst-quencher with uncommon pedigree.
Domaine Giacometti France | Corsica | Patrimonio
The Cuvée Sarah, an aromatic mix of roasted, smoking herbs with plenty of tannins to chew on, goes down with pleasure and calls for another round (and a grill).
Domaine Giacometti France | Corsica | Patrimonio
The name is Corsican for “always happy,” and you’ll understand exactly why immediately upon pulling the cork.
Domaine Giacometti France | Corsica | Patrimonio
This white, raised in demi-muids with malolactic fermentation, flamboyantly shows off the affinity of ripe Vermentinu grapes with a judicious use of wood.
Domaine Giacometti France | Corsica
Not quite Rhône-like and not quite Corsican, this has the best of both worlds, with plenty of palate-staining black fruit to boot.
