Muscat du Cap Corse: Domaine Pieretti 2011

Up on the Cap Corse promontory, outside the village of Luri, Lina Pieretti-Venturi makes a wonderful sweet Muscat de Cap Corse from a precious parcel of 2 hectares of vines that have been handed down through her family. This orange blossom-scented, golden-hued nectar is traditionally enjoyed in situ as a decadent aperitif but works equally well as partner to fruit-based desserts.

  • Style: White Wine, Sweet (Moelleux), Medium-bodied
  • Region: Corsica
  • Producer: Lina Pieretti-Venturi
  • Vintage: 2011
  • Grape variety (Cépage): Muscat
  • Wine pairing - drink with: Fruit desserts
  • Cellarage: Ready to drink from bottling but will age gracefully for 5+ years
  • Vinification: Very ripe grapes are late harvested, crushed and fermented at low temperatures. Fermentation is then arrested by a process of mutage as a precise volume of pure alcohol is added to the wine to kill off any yeast activity.
  • Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 15.5%
