Introduction:
The 2024 Terra Santa Île de Beauté Rosé is a fresh, vibrant expression of Corsica’s Mediterranean charm. Crafted from the island’s native Sciaccarello grape, it captures both the warmth of the sun and the cooling influence of the sea, resulting in a wine that’s effortlessly drinkable yet quietly complex.

Terroir:
Vineyards lie along Corsica’s east coast in Aléria, framed by the Mediterranean on one side and mountains on the other. Sandy-clay soils provide drainage while the diurnal temperature shifts preserve crisp acidity. Sea breezes bring a faint saline edge, while the island’s wild herbs subtly influence the aromatics.

Appearance:
Pale pink with soft salmon glints, bright and crystal-clear.

Nose:
Aromas of white peach, strawberry, and watermelon mingle with hints of citrus zest. A whisper of wild herbs recalls the island’s maquis vegetation.

Palate:
Light and refreshing yet well-structured, with flavors of ripe stone fruit, red berries, and melon. Crisp acidity and subtle minerality keep it lively and bring it to a long finish.

Finish:
Clean and dry with lingering citrus and a touch of salinity, inviting another sip.

Overall Impression:
A graceful Corsican rosé—fresh, fruity, and versatile. Perfect for casual summer moments or pairing with seafood, salads, and grilled vegetables.
