Taste
Appearance: Garnet red
Nose: Complex, with fruity and spicy notes. Intense expression of ripe red and black fruits (strawberries, cherries, plums) as well as licorice and noble spices like vanilla and clove. A true walk in the Corsican maquis!
Palate: a delicious, silky red right from the start, with tannins that have a patina and melt into the mass. The palate is particularly gourmand, with lingering notes of spice and mocha.
Cocktails and pairings
For something more daring, try this wine with salmon in American sauce (ideal with the tomato and spice flavors of this recipe). For classic pairings, this wine is ideal with grilled red meats or meats in sauce, Mediterranean dishes such as ratatouille or stuffed tomatoes. Finally, there’s nothing like a nice cheese platter.
