Jean-Baptiste Arena "Grotte di Sole" Muscat de Cap Corse 2015
New low price! Regular Vin Chicago retail - $46.99!
92
Our Score
(9/2018) From the northern end of Corsica, Antoine Arena's Muscat du Cap Corse is a great example of a Vin Doux Naturel you will want to drink. A VDN wine is made when the grape fermentation is stopped before it has finished and then fortified with a neutral grape spirit, in this case with Corsian grappa as is their tradition on the island. Made from 100% Muscat a Petits Grains, an explosion of ripe apricots, almonds, orange marmalade, and honey are present here, but the wine does not come across as too sweet as its high acidity balances everything nicely. Make dessert a memorable one and pair it with fruit tarts or flan!

Yves Leccia "e croce" Patrimonio Rouge 2016
Special Price on this Kermit Lynch Import!
92
Our Score
(1/2021) Drinking like a Tuscan/Rhone red, this serious red wine is both powerful and elegant. Patrimonio is an appellation on the French island of Corsica, yet it's actually geographically closer to Italy, thus the blend of 90% Niellucciu (aka Sangiovese) and 10% Grenache. Earthy and slightly barnyard, this chewy red gives lovely dried red fruits, red florals, smoke, dried herbs and cured meat notes, all atop a grippy, brisk structure. Pair with rack of lamb, sausage pastas or pepperoni pizza!

Nicolas Mariotti Bindi "Mursaglia" Patrimonio Blanc 2016
91
Our Score
(6/2020) Nicolas Mariotti Bindi's transition from a fledgling lawyer to a Patrimonio winemaker was a lucky break for both him and us, as he is producing some of the finest Niellucciu and Vermentinu in the area. His Mursaglia Blanc is 100% Vermentinu - estate fruit harvested from one hectare of parcels of clay and limestone soils. Aged 12 months on lees in tank and bottled unfiltered, the wine has incredible texture with a medium body that delicately balances with its crisp acidity. Green apple, lemon and lime dominate supplemented by notes of fresh jasmine and a flinty minerality. Versatile, delicious and drinking very well right now, put this up against your favorite Chablis.

La Boutanche Corsican Red Blend 2019 1.0 LT
90+
Our Score
(4/2021) The much-loved "La Boutanche" series is back at it with this iteration from Corsica's Domaine Santamaria. This blend of Nielluciu and Grenache sees minimal intervention winemaking to produce a fresh and approachable wine that, in ONE-LITER BOTTLES, delivers both quality and quantity! There's so much fruit on this one - dried cherry, macerated strawberry and cranberry erupt from the glass, supported by aromas of crushed violet and cracked peppercorn. Medium-bodied with subtle, chalky tannins and a balanced structure, it would be difficult to sketch-up a more ideal pizza wine!
