Villa Le Corti – Principe Corsini – Spumante Rosé 2019

I met with the Corsini team just before my birthday. Their wines were too pricey, but we all had a really good laugh. Gianluca’s parting comment after plenty of sass and banter was “as tomorrow is your birthday, stop by and we will have a glass together” I headed over to see Gianluca as he had suggested, and he presented his Rosato Spumante “this is just something we make as a fun project” he said and that’s all I needed to hear. The wine tasted incredible and was reasonably priced too. We have been working together for a couple of years now and the sass is still going strong!

The versatility of Sangiovese is showcased in this crisp and sprightly spumante. A pleasingly persistent perlage and freshly picked cherry and ripe raspberry flavours are a winning combination, making this dangerously drinkable.

Cream cheese canapes topped with smoked salmon, this is the ultimate aperitivo to enjoy on a warm Summer’s day – you can almost hear the clinking of glasses! Don’t just wait for Summer though, thanks to its structure, you can sip this with pizza, steak fish or duck.
