2022 ROSUMARINU ROUGE AOP SARTENE CORSE

TRY ME IF YOU LOVE: Pinot Noir

ABV: 13.5%

GRAPES: 100% Sciaccarellu

TASTING NOTES: Subtle, elegant and velvet-soft, this evokes mind-bending, ripe Burgundian Pinot Noir infused with fresh herbs. Red fruit and white pepper.

PAIRS WITH: Great as as an aperitif but works just as well with heartier food like game, salmon, tuna or mild and soft cheese.

SERVE ME: Lighter bodied red you could drink with a light chill in the warmer months

Sant’Armettu estate was establised in 1964 on Corsica’s idyllic southwestern shore by Lucien Seroin and his son Paul. Initially suppling fruit to the local co-operative Paul’s son Gilles – a wine merchant with an appreciation for small-lot vinification and native varieties expanded Sant’Armettu in the 1990s, planting indigenous vines and introducing high quality organic farming techniques.

Now, fifth generation Guillaume cultivates 40ha of vineyards on granitic terraces overlooking the Gulfs of Tizzano and Propriano. In the winery, he uses light infusions and wild yeast fermentations to produce delicately perfumed wines with purity and finesse.
