Three Colors from Corsica
by Chris Santini
Domaine Comte Abbatucci
France | Corsica | Vin de France
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.
Yves Leccia
France | Corsica | I. G. P. Île de Beauté
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.
Domaine de Marquiliani
France | Corsica | Vin de Corse
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.
