Corsican wines and gastronomy

Red wines
The strong red wines (as the Domaine Vico) perfectly match with dishes with high flavour: duck, meats with strong taste (beef, lamb, mutton…). We can also test them with exotic dishes composed of meat (couscous, tagine…). The red Corsican wines will also perfectly match with the famous Corsican cheeses (as the “tome de brebis”).
For the fruitiest red wines (as the Clos Canarelli) they will perfectly match with delicatessen, white meats, and also with the sweetest goat’s cheeses.

Rosé wines
            The trends are showing that the rosé wines are very popular, particularly during the aperitif time on summer. The French trend is the implementation of numerous establishments for evening-buffet (“bars à vins” for example). This concept is actually very popular in Corsica.
Nevertheless, the Corsican rosé wines (as the Clos Canarelli or the Clos d’Alzeto) can also be served with a lot of different dishes, thanks to their fruity taste that is ideal to enhance each flavour. Do not hesitate anymore to enjoy your fishes, your summer salads and your grilled meats with some Corsican rosé wines.

White wines
            The Corsican white wines are put in light by the biggest French sommeliers abroad. Without any doubt, the grape variety Vermentinu allows to product a lot of typical wines with a constant high quality.
Moreover, the contemporary food trends are matching with white wine: fishes, sushi, vegetables… Today, women are looking for wines of high quality, and the fair sex prefers the white wines.
Finally, we begin to understand that the white wine can also match with most of the cheeses (in a better way than the red wine). This recent discovery has to be taken in consideration in our country that counts thousands types of cheeses. For example, a typical Corsican cheese (the Brocciu) can perfectly be served with Corsican white wine!
