2020 Domaine Petroni Corse Rouge

The Petroni is the little wine that could. When we first came across this producer, it was the rose that was the star. But every for the last half decade, the Rouge has impressed more and more. Even the critics have agreed consistently making this wine one of the top reviewed values coming from Corsica. Showing its traditional roots with a hefty dose of Nielluciu (a clone of Sangiovese), the Grenache and Syrah add succulent fruit. Brambly blackberry, red licorice, spice and tobacco are some of the vibrant flavors that emerge in the glass. A supple finish makes for one of our best French values, regardless of where it came from!
