A Pineta Ile de Beaute Rosé 2020
- Crisp, dry
- France
What do you get when you blend two Corsican grapes you’ve never heard of, sciacarellu and nielluciu, into a rosé? Something surprisingly familiar but with a funky little twist. There’s the typical comfort of a savoury, slightly spicy, and imminently bright pink wine with all the usual fruit characters, yet that vineyard proximity to the sea has provided an underlying touch of minerality and saltiness, lifting the wine to the next level. Something comforting but slightly new...like an old friend you haven’t seen in a long time that’s grown into someone even more loveable.

Looks like this is either a wine sourced from various regions in France or it's from a smaller region that we haven't gotten around to writing about for you yet! If it's the former, well, it's hard to make general comments about a multi-regional French wine. So let's assume it's the latter: we've been lazy. Forgive us, there's only two of us, and we're mere mortals. We'll get round to writing something inspirational about this obscure (hopefully, otherwise we're in trouble) region eventually. Meanwhile, shoot in your suggestions (and your resume?), or just rejoice in the fact that there's something magical about heading off the beaten track and telling your friends all about that amazing grape that grows in the hinterlands of a place that doesn't even make it on the map – or Vinomofo's regional writeup section, at least.
