Vin de Corse Sartène Rosé: Domaine Saparale 2011

Phillipe Farinelli’s Corsican rosé wine, from a blend of Vermentino and Sciacarello with a splash of Nielluccio, is a delicate coral-pink colour with a subtle summer-berry bouquet and fine fruity palate.

What others think of this wine...

Jancis Robinson MW - JancisRobinson.com says:

Mid salmon. Sciacarello, Nielluccio and Vermentino. Lively and fresh but with good fruit concentration on the mid palate. Smoke and herbs on the nose. Satisfyingly neat fruit on the palate and a lingering finish. 13% 16.5/20.

Jancis Robinson MW - Financial Times, 12/05/2012. says:

And the even more unusual, though not too potent, Saparale 2011 Corse Sartène from Corsica is as wild as you could wish - a thoroughly admirable quality in this increasingly important category of wine.
