Domaine Pieretti Rosé 2011 from Sartene in Corsica, Phillipe Farinelli’s Corsican rosé wine, from a blend of Vermentino and
Sciacarello with a splash of Nielluccio. It is pale salmon - nearly onion skin coloured and has low aromas of rhubarb, nectarine and flowers, clean but single dimensional. On the palate once more rhubarb, nectarine and strawberry with a medium acidity that merely keeps it fresh, the alcohol is low ( 11.5%) but the wine is a simple
rosé wine that has a medium to short finish, best enjoyed with a shellfish or fish on a summers day. Supplied by
Yapp Brothers £11.25.
