Domaine Sant Armettu - Rosumarinu Rouge - Magnum 2024
Rosumarinu Rouge 2024 from Domaine Sant Armettu, here presented in magnum, embodies all the aromatic finesse of Sciaccarellu from the granitic soils of Sartène. The nose opens with a delicate bouquet of fresh strawberry, crunchy raspberry, and small red fruits, enhanced by a touch of white pepper typical of the grape variety. In the background appear hints of maquis, myrtle, and dry herbs that immediately evoke the landscapes of southern Corsica. The palate, supple and juicy, unfolds a pure and bright fruit, supported by a digestible freshness that brings rhythm and balance. The tannins, very fine, envelop the palate without ever weighing it down. The finish, airy and slightly spicy, extends the sensation of indulgence with great clarity. The magnum format enhances the impression of a lively, vibrant wine perfectly suited to large gatherings.
Upon aeration, Rosumarinu 2024 gains breadth and reveals subtle floral accents, lavender, and maquis scrubland, which further complicate its expression. The gentle vinification, without excessive extraction, aims to preserve the tender and spicy character of Sciaccarellu, offering a silky texture and a clear aromatic profile. Aging in stainless steel tanks, without woody influence, highlights the purity of the fruit and the crunchy dimension of the wine. The structure remains light but precise, animated by a natural tension that gives it exemplary drinkability. Each glass asserts the estate's signature: a delicate island red, modern in its expression, and carried by an authentic Mediterranean freshness.
In magnum, Rosumarinu Rouge 2024 reveals all its potential for conviviality and refinement. Served around 15 to 16 °C, it will perfectly accompany Corsican charcuterie, herb-roasted poultry from the maquis, grilled pork or lamb, as well as colorful Mediterranean cuisine. Its fine tannic structure also allows it to be paired with simpler dishes, such as wood-fired pizza or a plate of antipasti, while bringing relief and elegance. Delicious from today for its fruity brightness, it can evolve harmoniously over a few years, developing notes of dry herbs, sweet spices, and blond tobacco while retaining its natural freshness. It is a wine of immediate pleasure, fine and vibrant, perfectly reflecting the granitic and luminous beauty of Sartène.
