Domaine Comte Abbatucci : BR 2012

The Cuvée Barbarossa 2012 of the Domaine Comte Abbatucci is a Corsican wine that bears the name of the eponymous grape. This Vin de France is a white wine made from beautiful grapes of a pink skin and a white flesh. Its colour is pale yellow with golden hues. On the nose, at first this Barbarossa generously expresses candied yellow fruit. Then, after swelling, notes of aroma, hops and tobacco appear. It is very singular. On the palate, the Cuvée Barbarossa of the Domaine Comte Abbatucci appears to be ample and fat but without any heaviness. A beautiful balance. The retro-olfaction offers powerful aromas of smoke (just like on the nose). This Corsican wine is a perfect match with charcuterie or cheese, especially from Corsica of course, or eventually from elsewhere.
