Coteaux du Cap Corse: Domaine Pieretti Rosé 2021
Free next day delivery when you spend £125
Up on the stunningly beautiful northern peninsula of the Cap Corse, Lina Pieretti, one of Corsica's few female winemakers, makes this dry, zesty, onion-skin hued rosé wine that partners seafood perfectly.
A coral pink, dry and aromatic Coteaux du Cap Corse rosé wine with appealing raspberry and rosehip aromas, blended from roughly equal parts of Nielluccio, Grenache and Alicante grown on a tiny plot in the North of the island. The vineyard enjoys an excellent elevation, amazing light levels and stunning sea views.
