2020 Terra Santa Ile de Beauté Rosé Corsica

SKU #1540312

Corsica boasts one of France’s longest and deepest winemaking traditions, thanks to its place at the crossroads of civilizations. The ancient Romans and the Gauls both found this paradisiacal island ideal for the cultivation of the grape, and the mixed Italian and French heritage of this contested land has served to articulate its wine style throughout its modern history. The vineyards here are defined by their situation between the island’s steep, dramatic mountains and the surrounding sea, and the island’s cooperative of growers holds numerous prized plots on the east coast of the “Isle of Beauty" where they craft incredible values such as this Terra Santa rosé. Made from 100% Sciaccarellu, this is our top rosé pick under $10 this summer. We love its fresh nose of peach and watermelon, crisp acidity, and just the slightest effervescence lending lift to the salinity that comes from the brisk maritime nights.

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:

Provence

- Provence encompasses the southeastern portion of France that borders the Mediterranean. The largest appellation in the region is the Cotes de Provence that spans 49,600 acres of land in and around Marseilles. Thirteen different varietals are grown in this appellation with the most important grapes being Carignan, Cinsault, Grenache, and Mouvedre. While much of the production is dry rose, there are many more serious wines being made from the area. Some of the most important smaller appellations within Provence include Bandol, Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence, and Coteaux Varois.
