Domaine de Marquiliani Vin de Corse Rosé Gris de Marquiliani 2017

Tom Kobylarz

Stuck inside and dreaming of better days abroad or just in a backyard with friends? This wine helped me take a little escape to the island of Corsica, the home of the one and only Napoleon Bonaparte. This is one of 2 amazing rose wines from Marquiliani. This was my first Gris rose from Marquiliani and it's been a few years since I hade the regular rose. Domaine Marquiliani is one of the top producers of wine (and olive oil & almonds) on the island and are a small family owned and operated by Anne Amalric and her father Daniel who founded the modern history of this winery in the 1950s. Pale and watery in color, this is the "Gris" rose. Gorgeous notes of pink citrus, jasmine florals, minerals and fennel seed, no doubt from the high dose of Syrah in the blend. The wine grew tremendously in the glass and after an hour it was firing on all cylinders. Elegant on the palate with a stunning density and length on the nose. Pure and refreshing, it appealed to both the intellectual and hedonistic side of my tastes. Gorgeous, buying more ASAP! . - 50% Sciaccarellu, 40% Syrah, 10% Vermentino - 2 ha of vines in schist and granite gravel with silt soils, planted 1964 - direct press rose and cold-soaked for 72 hours!! - fermented in stainless and sees NO Malo #marquiliani #corsica #corsicanwine #rose #rosewine #winesolutions #wine #winelover #somm #sommelier #naturalwine #vinnaturel #winegeek #winetasting #ilovewine #apexwinesolutions #instawine #winestagram

This delicious Rosé has the slightest tint of salmon pink to it....the body is Medium+ and lush!! Tastes of strawberries..honeydew and savory herbs! Acidity is medium and renders a nice long finish! I would say this is the second best Rosé for me! I nice selection from Kermit Lynch...unfortunately the last time I checked it was no longer available..
