2024 Vin de Corse Rosé “Gris de Marquiliani”

Domaine de Marquiliani

France |  Corsica

Discount Eligible $29.00
AT CART MAX

An article in a leading French wine journal recently headlined with the question “Rosés of Terroir: do they really exist?” It argued that the answer is a resounding Yes, with the caveat of knowing where to look. If one requires proof in their pudding, Marquiliani’s vin gris is about as terroir as it gets—from vines in a hidden slice of paradise on Corsica’s eastern coast, flanked by sea on one side and forest on another, all tucked up against tall mountains. Warm, salty air mists from one side, while cool, brisk mountain air flows down into the valley on the other side. The result? Unique terroir in a bottle. Crisp and refreshing with a deceptively opaque, whispery color, it’s quite boldly flavored with hints of salt, mountain scrub, and flower petals.

2023 Chinon Rosé

Charles Joguet

France |  Loire

Discount Eligible $26.00
AT CART MAX

If Marquiliani’s vin gris blurs the limit of color where a white wine ends and a rosé begins, Joguet here is firmly on the other side of the color spectrum, within a stone’s throw from the point where a dark rosé ventures into light rouge territory. Its lush strawberry hue is warm and inviting, and it tastes every bit as full and delicious as it looks. Ripe cherries and melon you can truly sink your teeth into.

2024 Vino Rosato

Tintero

Italy |  Piedmont

Discount Eligible $12.00
SOLD OUT

I don’t know how he does it, but hats off to Marco Tintero for year in and year out providing us with the freshest, most festive rosé I’ve ever seen (from quite serious terroir in the hills of Piemonte, no less). With a faint touch of fizz (not bubbles, just spritz to keep that lively, straight-out-of-the-tank vibe), explosive fruit, a screw cap, and priced to entice, it’s the perfect summer’s pleasure.
